This package contains the tools needed to create, check, manipulate and analyze gfs2 filesystems, along with important scripts required to support gfs2 clusters.
The following development packages are required to build gfs2-utils:
- autoconf
- automake
- libtool
- GNU make
- ncurses
- gettext
- bison
- flex
- zlib
- bzip2
- libblkid
- libuuid
- check (optional, enables unit tests)
To build gfs2-utils, run the following commands:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
See ./configure --help for more build configuration options.
To run the test suite, use:
$ make check
See doc/README.tests for more details regarding the test suite.
gfs2-utils requires the following libraries:
- zlib
- bzip2
- ncurses
- libblkid
- libuuid
To install gfs2-utils, run:
# make install
The following scripts (located in gfs2/scripts/) are used to
complete the userland portion of the gfs2 withdraw feature using uevents. They
will be installed by make install to these directories by default:
| Script | Default install path |
|---|---|
| 82-gfs2-withdraw.rules | /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ |
| gfs2_withdraw_helper | /usr/libexec/ |
