WOW!, I don't think there is a simple answer for that given it is pretty general. Every vendor seems to have their own take on cluster management. IBM has HACMP for AIX, RedHat has Pirahna for Advanced Server. Sun, HP, DEC, etc all have there own as well. The concepts are usually similar. I don't know of a good general clustering resource. You may just want to pick an OS and read about it's cluster management. Be aware there are 2 general classifications of clusters, Highly Available where you are trying to provide a resource 24x7 and Computing where you are trying to utilize several CPU's to solve 1 problem. Beowulf.org is a good start for the later and the RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 Install and Configuration Guide may be a good start for the first, atleast to get the concepts. It is freely downloadable from redhat.com.

As far as single node management, "Essential System Administration" from O'Reilly is probably a good start.

Hope this helps a bit. Don't know if it is what you are looking for.

mkfs.bfs

MKFS.BFS(8)                                                    System Administration                                                   MKFS.BFS(8)

NAME

       mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).

       The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks.  If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.

OPTIONS

       -N, --inodes number
              Specify  the  desired  number  of  inodes (at most 512).  If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
              depending on the size of the partition.

       -V, --vname label
              Specify the volume label.  I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F, --fname name
              Specify the filesystem name.  I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -v, --verbose
              Explain what is being done.

       -c     This option is silently ignored.

       -l     This option is silently ignored.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.  Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.

EXIT CODES

       The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.

SEE ALSO

       mkfs(8)
