[Linux-cluster] can not mount GFS, "no such device"

[Diamond Li]

after I use mkfs.gfs2, it works. However, I did not see any document
to mention this command,  always gfs_mkfs.

in my humble opnion, redhat has a log way to provide real enterprise
solution, both from software quality and documentation.
