Subject: [PATCH 13/16] GFS2: Makefiles and Kconfig
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:40:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1157031655.3384.810.camel@quoit.chygwyn.com> (raw)
[PATCH 13/16] GFS2: Makefiles and Kconfig
This hooks GFS2 into the kernel's build system. It also adds some
documentation. Note that the dlm has been moved to be under
fs/dlm as per Ingo Molnar's suggestion. This patch series doesn't
include the dlm however. The DLM is already in both -mm and the git
tree containing GFS2 at kernel.org.

+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. Different lock
+modules can plug into GFS and each file system selects the appropriate
+lock module at mount time. Lock modules include:
+
+ lock_nolock -- 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/fs/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 URL above.
+
+To use gfs as a local file system, no external clustering systems are
+needed, simply:
+
+ $ mkfs -t gfs2 -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 URL above:
+ 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
+ mount.gfs2 to help mount(8) mount a filesystem
+ mkfs.gfs2 to make a filesystem
