The GFS Shared File System is able to combine multiple partition
s into a file system. The partition configuration data contains information about the partitions comprising a file system and the allocation of data areas in a partition.
This area is used when a file system configuration or a shared device are changed.
Similar to the super block, the partition configuration data is important for operation of the file system and for protection from disk device block failures a backup copy exists at the end of the partition.
