Doh!! :)

Is it normal?

$ gfs_tool df /mnt
/mnt:
  SB lock proto = "lock_dlm"
  SB lock table = "hotsite:gfs-00"
  SB ondisk format = 1309
  SB multihost format = 1401
  Block size = 4096
  Journals = 2
  Resource Groups = 424
  Mounted lock proto = "lock_dlm"
  Mounted lock table = "hotsite:gfs-00"
  Mounted host data = "jid=1:id=196609:first=0"
  Journal number = 1
  Lock module flags = 0
  Local flocks = FALSE
  Local caching = FALSE
  Oopses OK = FALSE

  Type           Total          Used           Free           use%           
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  inodes         854            854            0              100%
  metadata       48761          2259           46502          5%
  data           27652913       1061834        26591079       4%
