Quorum disks have their own disk format. It isn't strictly a filesystem since it's not mounted and it generally is created on a block device (like a disk) not a file (i.e. on a gfs filesystem). The mkqdisk command is used to do this.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man5/qdisk.5.html">http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man5/qdisk.5.html</A></DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mkqdisk.8.html">http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mkqdisk.8.html</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">2) Can i shrink my gfs on SAN storage and then create a partition for my quorum disk?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>GFS doesn't have the capability to shrink.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><A href="http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/faq.html#gfs_shrink">http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/faq.html#gfs_shrink</A><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Thank you for your help</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Fedele STABILE</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>-- </DIV><DIV>Jayson Vantuyl</DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">Systems Architect</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><B style="font-weight: bold; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Engine Yard</SPAN></B></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; "><A href="mailto:jvantuyl@engineyard.com">jvantuyl@engineyard.com</A></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV></SPAN><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
