NAME

       gfs2_tool - interface to gfs2 ioctl/sysfs calls

SYNOPSIS

       gfs2_tool COMMAND [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       gfs2_tool  is  an interface to a variety of the GFS2 ioctl/sysfs calls.
       Some of the functions of gfs_tool have been replaced by standard system
       tools  such  as  mount  and  chattr,  so gfs2_tool doesn’t have as many
       options as gfs_tool used to.

COMMANDS

       clearflag Flag File1 File2 ...
              Clear an attribute flag on a file.  See  setflag  for  available
              flags.

       freeze MountPoint
              Freeze (quiesce) a GFS2 cluster.

       gettune MountPoint
              Print  out  the  current  values  of  the tuning parameters in a
              running  filesystem.  A   better   source   of   similar   (more
              comprehensive)  information  is  that  in the /proc/mounts file.
              Running the mount command with no arguments  will  also  provide
              the  same  information.  This  option is considered obsolete and
              will probably be removed at some future date.

       journals MountPoint
              Print  out  information  about  the  journals   in   a   mounted
              filesystem.

       lockdump MountPoint
              Print  out  information about the locks this machine holds for a
              given filesystem. This information is  also  available  via  the
              debugfs glock dump file.

       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 uuid [newvalue]
              View  (and  possibly  replace)  the  uuid  in  the  file  system
              superblock.  The file system shouldn’t be mounted by any  client
              when  you do this.  The new uuid value should be in the standard
              uuid format.  For example: 1AEA8269-15C5-72BD-6D83-8720B17AA4EE

       sb device all
              Print out the superblock.

       setflag Flag File1 File2 ...
              Set an attribute flag on a file.  The currently supported  flags
              are jdata, immutable, appendonly, noatime, and sync.  The chattr
              command is the preferred way to set attributes on files.

              The jdata flag causes all the data  written  to  a  file  to  be
              journaled.   If the jdata flag is set for a directory, all files
              and directories subsequently created within that  directory  are
              also  journaled.   This  behavior replaces the old inherit_jdata
              flag from gfs.  Same as chattr +j.

              The immutable flag marks the file  immutable.  The  behavior  is
              similar  to  the  immutable flag in the ext2/3 filesystems.  All
              write access is denied.  Same as chattr +i.

              The appendonly flag causes all data to be written at the end  of
              the file.  Same as chattr +a.

              The  noatime  flag  disables  updates to the file’s access time.
              Same as chattr +A.

              The sync flag causes data written to the file to be  sync’ed  to
              stable storage immediately.  Same as chattr +S.

       settune MountPoint parameter newvalue
              Set the value of tuning parameter.  Use gettune for a listing of
              tunable parameters. The mount -oremount command is the preferred
              way  to  set  the  values  of tunable parameters. At some future
              stage, when all parameters can be set  via  mount,  this  option
              will be removed.

       unfreeze MountPoint
              Unfreeze a GFS2 cluster.

       version
              Print out the version of GFS2 that this program goes with.

       withdraw MountPoint
              Cause  GFS2  to  abnormally  shutdown a given filesystem on this
              node.

                                                                  gfs2_tool(8)
