+Global File System
+------------------
+
+http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/
+
+GFS is a cluster file system. It allows a cluster of computers to
+simultaneously use a block device that is shared between them (with FC,
+iSCSI, NBD, etc). GFS reads and writes to the block device like a local
+file system, but also uses a lock module to allow the computers coordinate
+their I/O so file system consistency is maintained. One of the nifty
+features of GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the file system
+on one machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
+
+GFS uses interchangable inter-node locking mechanisms. GFS plugs into one
+side of a module called "lock_harness" and different lock modules can plug
+into the other side of the harness. Each gfs file system selects the
+appropriate lock module at mount time. Lock modules include:
+
+ lock_nolock -- does no real locking and allows gfs to be used as a
+ local file system
+
+ lock_dlm -- uses a distributed lock manager (dlm) for inter-node locking
+ The dlm is found at linux/drivers/dlm/
+
+In addition to interfacing with an external locking manager, a gfs lock
+module is responsible for interacting with external cluster management
+systems. Lock_dlm depends on user space cluster management systems found
+at the location above.
+
+To use gfs as a local file system, no external clustering systems are
+needed, simply:
+
+ $ gfs2_mkfs -p lock_nolock -j 1 /dev/block_device
+ $ mount -t gfs2 /dev/block_device /dir
+
+GFS2 is not on-disk compatible with previous versions of GFS.
+
+
+The following man pages can be found at the location above:
+ gfs2_mkfs to make a filesystem
+ gfs2_fsck to repair a filesystem
+ gfs2_grow to expand a filesystem online
+ gfs2_jadd to add journals to a filesystem online
+ gfs2_tool to manipulate, examine and tune a filesystem
+ gfs2_quota to examine and change quota values in a filesystem
+ gfs2_mount to find mount options
+
+Mount options (from the gfs2_mount man page)
+
+ lockproto=LockModuleName
+ This specifies which inter-node lock protocol is used by the
+ GFS2 filesystem for this mount, overriding the default lock
+ protocol name stored in the filesystem's on-disk superblock.
+
+ The LockModuleName must be an exact match of the protocol name
+ presented by the lock module when it registers with the lock
+ harness. Traditionally, this matches the .o filename of the
+ lock module, e.g. lock_dlm, lock_gulm, or lock_nolock.
+
+ The default lock protocol name is written to disk initially
+ when creating the filesystem with gfs2_mkfs(8), -p option. It
+ can be changed on-disk by using the gfs2_tool(8) utility's sb
+ proto command.
+
+ The lockproto mount option should be used only under special
+ circumstances in which you want to temporarily use a different
+ lock protocol without changing the on-disk default.
+
+ locktable=LockTableName
+ This specifies the identity of the cluster and of the filesys-
+ tem for this mount, overriding the default cluster/filesystem
+ identify stored in the filesystem's on-disk superblock. The
+ cluster/filesystem name is recognized globally throughout the
+ cluster, and establishes a unique namespace for the inter-node
+ locking system, enabling the mounting of multiple GFS2 filesys-
+ tems.
+
+ The format of LockTableName is lock-module-specific. For
+ lock_gulm and lock_dlm, the format is clustername:fsname. For
+ lock_nolock, the field is ignored.
+
+ The default cluster/filesystem name is written to disk ini-
+ tially when creating the filesystem with gfs2_mkfs(8), -t
+ option. It can be changed on-disk by using the gfs2_tool(8)
+ utility's sb table command.
+
+ The locktable mount option should be used only under special
+ circumstances in which you want to mount the filesystem in a
+ different cluster, or mount it as a different filesystem name,
+ without changing the on-disk default.
+
+ hostdata=HostIDInfo
+ This field sends host (the computer on which the filesystem is
+ being mounted) identity information to the lock module.
+
+ The format and behavior of HostIDInfo is lock-module-specific.
+ For lock_gulm, it overrides the uname(1) -n network node name
+ used as default by lock_gulm. For lock_nolock, a HostIDInfo of
+ "jid=x" tells GFS to mount journal number x.
+
+ This field is ignored by lock_dlm.
+
+ localcaching
+ This flag tells GFS2 that it is running as a local (not clus-
+ tered) filesystem, so it can turn on some block caching opti-
+ mizations that can't be used when running in cluster mode.
+
+ This is turned on automatically by the lock_nolock module, but
+ can be overridden by using the ignore_local_fs option.
+
+ localflocks
+ This flag tells GFS2 that it is running as a local (not clus-
+ tered) filesystem, so it can allow the kernel VFS layer to do
+ all flock and fcntl file locking. When running in cluster
+ mode, these file locks require inter-node locks, and require
+ the support of GFS2. When running locally, better performance
+ is achieved by letting VFS handle the whole job.
+
+ This is turned on automatically by the lock_nolock module, but
+ can be overridden by using the ignore_local_fs option.
+
+ oopses_ok
+ When GFS2 detects certain errors (mostly some type of memory
+ corruption) it will panic the machine rather than risk corrupt-
+ ing the ondisk state. Using this option will cause GFS2 to
+ oops instead of panic. This may produce more useful debugging
+ information than a panic will. The downside of this option is
+ that an oops on one machine of a cluster filesystem may cause
+ the filesystem to stall on all machines in the cluster. (Pan-
+ ics don't have this "feature".) Use this option with care.
+
+ This is turned on automatically by the lock_nolock module, but
+ can be overridden by using the ignore_local_fs option.
+
+ debug Causes GFS2 to oops when encountering an error that would cause
+ the mount to withdraw or print an assertion warning. This
+ option should probably not be used in a production system.
+
+ ignore_local_fs
+ By default, using the nolock lock module automatically turns on
+ the localcaching and localflocks optimizations.
+ ignore_local_fs forces GFS2 to treat the filesystem as if it
+ were a multihost (clustered) filesystem, with localcaching and
+ localflocks optimizations turned off.
+
+ upgrade
+ This flag tells GFS2 to upgrade the filesystem's on-disk format
+ to the version supported by the current GFS2 software installa-
+ tion on this computer. If you try to mount an old-version disk
+ image, GFS2 will notify you via a syslog message that you need
+ to upgrade. Try mounting again, using the -o upgrade option.
+ When upgrading, only one node may mount the GFS2 filesystem.
+
+ num_glockd=Number
+ Tunes GFS2 to alleviate memory pressure when rapidly aquiring
+ many locks (e.g. several processes scanning through huge
+ directory trees). GFS2' glockd kernel daemon cleans up memory
+ for no-longer-needed glocks. Multiple instances of the daemon
+ clean up faster than a single instance. The default value is
+ one daemon, with a maximum of 16. Since this option was intro-
+ duced, other methods of rapid cleanup have been developed
+ within GFS2, so this option may go away in the future.
+
+ acl Enables POSIX Access Control List acl(5) support within GFS2.
+
+ spectator
+ Mount this filesystem using a special form of read-only mount.
+ The mount does not use one of the filesystem's journals.
+
+ suiddir
+ Sets owner of any newly created file or directory to be that of
+ parent directory, if parent directory has S_ISUID permission
+ attribute bit set. Sets S_ISUID in any new directory, if its
+ parent directory's S_ISUID is set. Strips all execution bits
+ on a new file, if parent directory owner is different from
+ owner of process creating the file. Set this option only if
+ you know why you are setting it.
+
+ quota=[off/account/on]
+ Turns quotas on or off for a filesystem. Setting the quotas to
+ be in the "account" state causes the per UID/GID usage statis-
+ tics to be correctly maintained by the filesystem, limit and
+ warn values are ignored. The default value is "off".
+
+ data=[ordered/writeback]
+ When data=ordered is set, the user data modified by a transac-
+ tion is flushed to the disk before the transaction is commited
+ to disk. This should prevent the user from seeing uninitial-
+ ized blocks in a file after a crash. Data=writeback mode
+ writes the user data to the disk at any time after it's dirt-
+ ied. This doesn't provide the same consistency guarantee as
+ ordered mode, but it should be slightly faster for some work-
+ loads. The default is ordered mode.
