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.

It was possible for an inode glock holder to never be dequeued through
gfs_readpage, which caused a "failed in add_to_queue()" assertion and
subsequent errors. This issue has been fixed.

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

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