15 gfs2_jadd is used to add journals (and a few other per-node files) to a
16 GFS2 filesystem. When this operation is complete, the journal index is
17 updated so that machines mounting the filesystem at a later date will
18 see the newly created journals in addition to the journals already
19 there. Machines which are already running in the cluster are unaf‐
20 fected.
21
22 You may only run gfs2_jadd on a mounted filesystem, addition of jour‐
23 nals to unmounted filesystems is not supported. You only need to run
24 gfs2_jadd on one node in the cluster. All the other nodes will see the
25 expansion has occurred when required.
26
27 You must be superuser to execute gfs2_jadd. The gfs2_jadd tool tries to
28 prevent you from corrupting your filesystem by checking as many of the
29 likely problems as it can. When growing a filesystem, only the last
30 step of updating the journal index affects the currently mounted
31 filesystem and so failure part way through the expansion process should
32 leave your filesystem in its original state.
33
34 You can run gfs2_jadd with the -T flag to get a display of the current
35 state of a mounted GFS2 filesystem.
36
37
39 -c MegaBytes
40 Initial size of each journal's quota change file
41
42 -D Print out debbugging information about the filesystem layout.
43
44 -h Prints out a short usage message and exits.
45
46 -J size
47 The size of the new journals in megabytes. The defaults to 32MB
48 (the minimum size allowed is 8MB). If you want to add journals
49 of different sizes to the filesystem, you'll need to run
50 gfs2_jadd once for each different size of journal.
51
52 -j num The number of new journals to add.
53
54 -q Be quiet. Don't print anything.
55
56 -T Test. Do all calculations, but do not write any data to the disk
57 and do not add journals. This is used to discover what the tool
58 would have done were it run without this flag.
59
60 -u MegaBytes
61 Initial size of each journal's unlinked tag file
62
63 -V Version. Print version information, then exit.
