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.

UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)						 Debian GNU/Linux					    UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)

NAME

       update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf

SYNOPSIS

       update-rcconf-guide

DESCRIPTION

       Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.

       Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info
       files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in
       priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field.  Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to
       /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.

       You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand.	Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those
       in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.

       If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh
       guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.

       Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
	       package.

FILE

       /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default
	       Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates.

       /var/lib/rcconf/guide
	       Guide File user(Administrator) can define.
