I reckon GFS is poorly documented, there are lots of things about it you won't 
be able to know until you deploy it and run into problems, I lately resized GFS 
and it badly effected NFS, it turned out to be a known issue but was not 
documented anywhere, adding journals is another example, they don't tell you 
would need to expand the file system if you decided to add more journals until 
you run gfs_jadd and complains of no enough space, gfs tuning options (gfs_tool 
gettune) are not documented either ..
