Hi, OK if not sure , please can you tell me the minimum space for a partition to put if i want to format it as gfs ? because i am using ORACLE and i need to make raw devices and i will give each raw device a partition and some raw devices have a space of 50 MB and that in not enough for gfs , so if didi not sure about the space for gfs , please can you tell me the minimum space that i can use to be in a safe side for gfs file system.
