Google and GFS (Not the same thing! Same acronym, and both are distributed filesystems, but apparently the similarity stops there)

My gfs script

The following arguments are supported on the /usr/local/etc/gfs script:

• start
  • performs an assemble and mount
• assemble
  • assembles the GFS volumes. A good prelude to fsck.
• mount
  • Mounts the GFS filesystems. A good followup to assemble and fsck.
• fsck
  • gfs_fsck's the gfs filesystems, e-mails Dan when done.
  • Reports how long each gfs_fsck took
• umount
• stop
  • performs a umount and stops GFS-related processes.
• reboot
  • runs /usr/local/bin/safe-reboot on the GFS-related hosts. Counts down for a while, then generates uptime information.
• uptime
  • Reports the uptime of GFS-related hosts
• restart
  • runs uptime, stop, reboot, start, uptime.
