Updated gfs-utils packages that fix several bugs are now available.
The gfs-utils packages provide the user-level tools necessary to mount and
use GFS filesystems.
These updated packages apply the following bug fixes:
* a problem was fixed with gfs_grow which would cause gfs_fsck to report
the wrong percentage complete in pass 5.
* a bug was fixed which caused gfs_fsck to take longer than necessary for a
file system check.
* a bug was fixed which could potentially cause gfs_fsck to get stuck in an
infinite loop.
* gfs_fsck has improved support for fixing damaged directory entries in a
gfs filesystem.
* a bug was fixed which caused gfs_tool to fail to report counters when the
system was unable to allocate 64k of contiguous kernel memory.
* A bug was fixed which would cause gfs_fsck to be unable to properly fix
resource groups.
* A bug was fixed which would cause gfs_quota to take an unreasonable
amount of time when listing the quota file.
* unmounting a busy filesystem now gives a more reasonable error message.
* gfs_fsck now properly processes the command line parameters.
All users of gfs-utils should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
