Elton,

You must provide gfs_mkfs with a locktable name, a number of journals to 
create, and a lock protocol.

Example:
gfs_mkfs -t mycluster:data1 -j 5 -p lock_gulm /dev/sda1

Where "mycluster" is the clustername from cluster.ccs:cluster/name, "data1" is 
a unique GFS filesystem name, and "5" is the number of journals to create 
(make one for each node that will mount the filesystem).

Please refer to gfs_mkfs(8) for more detailed information.

Hope this helps:
Derek
