I'm trying to measure the usage of journal blocks created within a GFS

journal with lot of entries to measure its peak usage. I saw gfs_tool
prints jindex data structure. Can anyone help to interpret its output?
Also I like to hear from anyone who went through similar exercise of
understanding GFS journal usage in an active system.

Hi Sridharan,
gfs_tool jindex just dumps the journal index file of a GFS file system.
The jindex file is an index of all the journals and where they're located
and the number of segments. The first part of the output is just a dump
of the jindex file's inode, which doesn't tell you much.
This doesn't tell you much about what's happening inside the actual
journals.
