I'm just working with quorum, so i have this questions for all:

1) Is it possible/suggested create a quorum disk using a gfs filesystem?

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Quorum disks have their own disk format.  It isn't strictly a filesystem since it's not mounted and it generally is created on a block device (like a disk) not a file (i.e. on a gfs filesystem).  The mkqdisk command is used to do this.

2) Can i shrink my gfs on SAN storage and then create a partition for my quorum disk?

GFS doesn't have the capability to shrink.

Thank you for your help
