Example: gfs_mkfs -t mycluster:data1 -j 5 -p lock_gulm /dev/sda1 Where "mycluster" is the clustername from cluster.ccs:cluster/name, "data1" is a unique GFS filesystem name, and "5" is the number of journals to create (make one for each node that will mount the filesystem). Please refer to gfs_mkfs(8) for more detailed information.
