directory (and all its subdirectories). Existing files with zero length can also have data journaling
turned on or off.
Using the gfs_tool command, data journaling is enabled on a directory (and all its subdirector-
ies) or on a zero-length file by setting the inherit_jdata or jdata attribute flags to the directory
or file, respectively. The directory and file attribute flags can also be cleared.
Usage
Setting and Clearing the inherit_jdata Flag
gfs_tool setflag inherit_jdata Directory
gfs_tool clearflag inherit_jdata Directory
Setting and Clearing the jdata Flag
gfs_tool setflag jdata File
gfs_tool clearflag jdata File
Directory
Specifies the directory where the flag is set or cleared.
File
Specifies the zero-length file where the flag is set or cleared.
Examples
This example shows setting the inherit_jdata flag on a directory. All files created in the direct-
ory or any of its subdirectories will have the jdata flag assigned automatically. Any data written
to the files will be journaled.
gfs_tool setflag inherit_jdata /gfs1/data/
This example shows setting the jdata flag on a file. The file must be zero size. Any data written
to the file will be journaled.
gfs_tool setflag jdata /gfs1/datafile
9. Configuring atime Updates
Each file inode and directory inode has three time stamps associated with it:
• ctime — The last time the inode status was changed
• mtime — The last time the file (or directory) data was modified
• atime — The last time the file (or directory) data was accessed
If atime updates are enabled as they are by default on GFS and other Linux file systems then
