I'm not sure what you mean here.  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.

GFS doesn't have the capability to shrink.
