12.5.1 File system extension

The GFS Shared File System adds partitionTerms to a conventional system file, thus solving the problems of there being an area shortfall without taking additional time for the backup and/or re-creation of the file system.

file data partitionTerms and meta-data partitionTerms can be added even when the file system is mounted, allowing users to overcome area shortfalls without stopping regular operation.
