gfs_tool

gfs_tool(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       gfs_tool(8)

NAME

       gfs_tool - interface to gfs ioctl calls

SYNOPSIS

       gfs_tool COMMAND [OPTION] [PARAMETERS ...]

DESCRIPTION

       gfs_tool is an interface to a variety of the GFS ioctl calls.

       Specifying gfs_tool -h prints gfs_tool command line usage (help).

       Specifying gfs_tool -V prints the gfs_tool version information.

COMMANDS

       clearflag Flag File1 File2 ...
	      Clear an attribute flag on a file.

       counters MountPoint [-c] [-i interval]
	      Print out statistics about a filesystem.	If -c is specified, gfs_tool keeps running printing out the statistics once per second or,
	      if specified, the interval given with the -i option, in seconds.

       df MountPoint [-k]|[-H]
	      Print out a space usage summary of a given filesystem.  The information printed is more detailed than a standard	"df".	If  -k	is
	      specified,  the  output is given in kilobytes (KB).  If -H is specified, the output is given in human readable format (similar to df
	      -h).  If neither -k nor -H are specified, the output is given in file system blocks.

       freeze MountPoint
	      Freeze (quiesce) a GFS cluster.

       getsb MountPoint
	      Print out the superblock of a mounted filesystem.

       gettune MountPoint
	      Print out the current values of the tuning parameters in a running filesystem.

       jindex MountPoint
	      Print out the journal index of a mounted filesystem.

       layout File [buffersize]
	      Print out on-disk layout information about a file or directory.  Buffersize is the size of the buffer (in bytes) that gfs_tool allo-
	      cates  to  store the file's metadata during processing.  It defaults to 4194304 bytes.  If you are printing a very big directory you
	      may need to specify a bigger size.

       list   List the currently mounted GFS filesystems.  Each line represents a filesystem.  The columns represent (in order): 1) A number  that
	      is a cookie that represents the mounted filesystem. 2) The name of the device that holds the filesystem (well, the name as the Linux
	      kernel knows it). 3) The lock table field that the filesystem was mounted with.

       lockdump MountPoint [buffersize]
	      Print out information about the locks this machine holds for a given filesystem. Buffersize is the size of  the  buffer  (in  bytes)
	      that gfs_tool allocates to store the lock data during processing.  It defaults to 4194304 bytes.

       margs arguments
	      This  loads  arguments  into  the  module  what  will  override  the  mount options passed with the -o field on the next mount.  See
	      mount.gfs(8).

       reclaim File
	      Returns unused on-disk metadata blocks to free blocks.

       rindex MountPoint
	      Print out the resource group index of a mounted filesystem.

       quota MountPoint
	      Print out the quota file of a mounted filesystem.  Also see the "gfs_quota list" command.

       sb device proto [newvalue]
	      View (and possibly replace) the name of the locking protocol in the file system superblock.  The file system shouldn't be mounted by
	      any client when you do this.

       sb device table [newvalue]
	      View  (and  possibly  replace) the name of the locking table in the file system superblock.  The file system shouldn't be mounted by
	      any client when you do this.

       sb device ondisk [newvalue]
	      View (and possibly replace) the ondisk format number in the file system superblock.  The file system shouldn't  be  mounted  by  any
	      client when you do this.	No one should have to use this.

       sb device multihost [newvalue]
	      View  (and possibly replace) the multihost format number in the file system superblock.  The file system shouldn't be mounted by any
	      client when you do this.	No one should have to use this.

       sb device all
	      Print out the superblock.

       setflag Flag File1 File2 ...
	      Set an attribute flag on a file.	There  are  four  currently  supported	flags.	 They  are  jdata,  directio,  inherit_jdata,  and
	      inherit_directio.

	      The  jdata  flag	causes	all the data written to a regular file to be journaled. The jdata flag can only be set (or cleared) if the
	      file is zero length.

	      The directio flag causes all I/O to a regular file to be Direct I/O, even if the O_DIRECT flag isn't used on the open() command.

	      The inherit_jdata flag is set on a directory.  It causes all new regular files created in that directory automatically  inherit  the
	      jdata flag.  The inherit_jdata is also inherited by any new subdirectories created in that directory.

	      The  inherit_directio  flag  is set on a directory.  It causes all new regular files created in that directory automatically inherit
	      the directio flag.  The inherit_directio is also inherited by any new subdirectories created in that directory.

       settune MountPoint parameter newvalue
	      Set the value of tuning parameter.  Use gettune for a listing of tunable parameters.

       shrink MountPoint
	      Causes any unused inodes to be thrown out of memory.

       stat File
	      Print out extended stat information about a file.

       unfreeze MountPoint
	      Unfreeze a GFS cluster.

       version
	      Print out the version of GFS that this program goes with.

       withdraw MountPoint
	      Cause GFS to abnormally shutdown a given filesystem on this node.
