I know that, but I can't grow the FS because I don't have hardware space to do this, so I'm trying to find an alternate way...<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/8/22, Jeremy Carroll <<a href="mailto:Jeremyc@tasconline.com">

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">i have a cluster in which two nodes share a GFS filesystem . I created
the filesystem with 3 journals - just to be sure - , and now I need to add TWO
