you can create a GPFS filesystem using the mmcrfs command. here's what the manual says:

Code:
       Use  the mmcrfs command to create a GPFS file system.  The first two parameters must be Device and either DiskDescList or DescFile and
       they must be in that order. The block size and replication factors chosen affect file system performance. A maximum of 256  file  sys-
       tems can be mounted in a GPFS cluster at one time, including remote file systems.

       When  deciding  on  the maximum number of files (number of inodes) in a file system, consider that for file systems that will be doing
       parallel file creates, if the total number of free inodes is not greater than 5% of the total number of inodes, there is the potential
       for slowdown in file system access. The total number of inodes can be increased using the mmchfs command.

sg_get_fs_stats(3)					     Library Functions Manual						sg_get_fs_stats(3)

NAME
sg_get_fs_stats - get filesystem statistics SYNOPSIS
#include <statgrab.h> sg_fs_stats *sg_get_fs_stats(int *entries); DESCRIPTION
The sg_get_fs_stats takes a pointer to an int, entries, which is filled with the number of mounted file systems the machine has. The return value is a pointer to the first member of an array of sg_fs_stats structures; the number of entries in the array is returned in entries. The function returns statistics about mounted filesystems, including free space and inode usage. RETURN VALUES
sg_get_fs_stats returns a pointer to a structure of type sg_fs_stats. typedef struct { char *device_name; char *fs_type; char *mnt_point; long long size; long long used; long long avail; long long total_inodes; long long used_inodes; long long free_inodes; long long avail_inodes; long long io_size; long long block_size; long long total_blocks; long long free_blocks; long long used_blocks; long long avail_blocks; } sg_fs_stats; device_name The name known to the operating system. (eg. on linux it might be hda) fs_type The type of the filesystem. mnt_point The mount point of the file system. size The size, in bytes, of the file system. used The amount of space, in bytes, used on the filesystem. avail The amount of space, in bytes, available on the filesystem. total_inodes The total number of inodes in the filesystem. used_inodes The number of used inodes in the filesystem. free_inodes The number of free inodes in the filesystem. avail_inodes The number of free inodes available to non-privileged processes. io_size A suggested optimal block size for IO operations -- if you're reading or writing lots of data, do it in chunks of this size. block_size How big blocks actually are on the underlying filesystem (typically for purposes of stats reporting). total_blocks The total number of blocks in the filesystem. free_blocks The number of free blocks in the filesystem. used_blocks The number of used blocks in the filesystem. avail_blocks The number of free blocks available to non-privileged processes.
