Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2008-08-28

Details

Updated gfs-kmod packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

The gfs-kmod packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount and
use GFS file systems.

Under heavy I/O, the GFS kernel module may have asserted
'"gfs_glock_is_locked_by_me(ip->i_gl)" failed', due to the inode glock not
being held through the "madvise()" system call.

All gfs-kmod users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
