For fast creation of a gfs2 file system, a master metadata image of a master file system is used for generating a small file systems identical in structure in the gfs2 file system containing a large sequential file. Metadata is captured of the master file system and stored as the master metadata image. A utility function of the gfs2 file system is used for saving the master metadata image of the master file system as a compressed binary file.
