Hi Nathan,
I don't remember if anyone replied yet, so I apologize if this is redundant.

1. What -exactly- is the process necessary for setting up gfs2. I'm confused because there are so many 'pieces' to this, I feel like I've lost my way?
- To give a little background, I'm using an iSCSI target which allows any machine to make the SAN device a local scsi device on the system. Ex: /dev/sdb (This in turn allows direct block access, and I can do whatever with it; as if it were literally a system disk.) I've read something about needing to set up fencing, cluster information, and .... ?? I'm lost. lol
- I set up a partition with dlm compiled into the kernel (2.6.20.1), and apparently I can only mount when using no_lock, dlm gives me a resource error (I'm assuming this has to do with no cluster information being set, or anything else configured).
Perhaps you should take a look at my "Unofficial NFS/GFS Cookbook" that goes through every step:
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/nfscookbook.pdf
2. Is there a way to grow a gfs2 partition at the moment? I see something for gfs1, yet no binaries, source, or references to a command except via this web page which outlines the command: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/gfs2_grow.8.html
My bad. This was an oversight. I'm putting the final touches on a new gfs2_grow command right now. I'm tracking it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234844
3. Quota. Fortunately this is one of the last things I have to worry about on the chain of events that need to unfold. I have not done much research on this last part as a result. Does gfs's quota work like the quota system that .... well, I don't know if you want to call it a default, or generic, quota system .. or what?
I think the GFS quota stuff is pretty much the same as any, but like you, I haven't dug into it enough to know for sure.
