# # mkfs for GFS2 filesystem # To install: 1. Edit the Makefile to point at your local copy of the kernel source with GFS2 included in it, for my set up that means: INCLUDEPATH=-I/home/steve/linux-2.6/include/ 2. make 3. make install You can then use it just like other mkfs programs (for example): /sbin/mkfs -t gfs2 -j 1 -p lock_nolock /dev/sdb1 This will create a filesystem with one journal (i.e. mountable by a maximum of one node at a time) with the nolock module (single node use only) on /dev/sdb1. Running mkfs -f gfs2 -h will produce help information.
