3.6. Adding Journals to a GFS2 File System
The
gfs2_jadd command is used to add journals to a GFS2 file system. You can add journals to a GFS2 file system dynamically at any point without expanding the underlying logical volume. The gfs2_jadd command must be run on a mounted file system, but it needs to be run on only one node in the cluster. All the other nodes sense that the expansion has occurred.
Note
If a GFS2 file system is full, the
gfs2_jadd command will fail, even if the logical volume containing the file system has been extended and is larger than the file system. This is because in a GFS2 file system, journals are plain files rather than embedded metadata, so simply extending the underlying logical volume will not provide space for the journals.
Before adding journals to a GFS2 file system, you can find out how many journals the GFS2 file system currently contains with the
gfs2_edit -p jindex command, as in the following example:
# gfs2_edit -p jindex /dev/sasdrives/scratch|grep journal
3/3 [fc7745eb] 4/25 (0x4/0x19): File journal0
4/4 [8b70757d] 5/32859 (0x5/0x805b): File journal1
5/5 [127924c7] 6/65701 (0x6/0x100a5): File journal2
Usage
gfs2_jadd -j Number MountPointNumber- Specifies the number of new journals to be added.
MountPoint- Specifies the directory where the GFS2 file system is mounted.
Examples
In this example, one journal is added to the file system on the
/mygfs2 directory.
gfs2_jadd -j 1 /mygfs2
In this example, two journals are added to the file system on the
/mygfs2 directory.
gfs2_jadd -j 2 /mygfs2
Complete Usage
gfs2_jadd [Options] {MountPoint|Device} [MountPoint|Device]
MountPoint- Specifies the directory where the GFS2 file system is mounted.
Device- Specifies the device node of the file system.
Table 3.4, “GFS2-specific Options Available When Adding Journals” describes the GFS2-specific options that can be used when adding journals to a GFS2 file system.
| Flag | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
-h | Help. Displays short usage message. | |
-J | Megabytes | Specifies the size of the new journals in megabytes. Default journal size is 128 megabytes. The minimum size is 32 megabytes. To add journals of different sizes to the file system, the gfs2_jadd command must be run for each size journal. The size specified is rounded down so that it is a multiple of the journal-segment size that was specified when the file system was created. |
-j | Number | Specifies the number of new journals to be added by the gfs2_jadd command. The default value is 1. |
-q | Quiet. Turns down the verbosity level. | |
-V | Displays command version information. |
