14 gfs2_jadd is used to add journals (and a few other per-node files) to a
15 GFS2 filesystem. When this operation is complete, the journal index is
16 updated so that machines mounting the filesystem at a later date will
17 see the newly created journals in addition to the journals already
18 there. Machines which are already running in the cluster are unaf‐
19 fected.

21 You may only run gfs2_jadd on a mounted filesystem, addition of jour‐
22 nals to unmounted filesystems is not supported. You only need to run
23 gfs2_jadd on one node in the cluster. All the other nodes will see the
24 expansion has occurred when required.
25
26 You must be superuser to execute gfs2_jadd. The gfs2_jadd tool tries to
27 prevent you from corrupting your filesystem by checking as many of the
28 likely problems as it can. When growing a filesystem, only the last
29 step of updating the journal index affects the currently mounted
30 filesystem and so failure part way through the expansion process should
31 leave your filesystem in its original state.

33
35 -c MegaBytes
36 Initial size of each journal's quota change file
37
38 -D Print out debugging information about the filesystem layout.
39
40 -h Prints out a short usage message and exits.
41
42 -J size
43 The size of the new journals in megabytes. The defaults to 32MB
44 (the minimum size allowed is 8MB). If you want to add journals
45 of different sizes to the filesystem, you'll need to run
46 gfs2_jadd once for each different size of journal.
47
48 -j num The number of new journals to add.
49
50 -q Be quiet. Don't print anything.
51
52 -V Version. Print version information, then exit.
