Updated gfs-kmod packages which fix several issues are now available.
The gfs-kmod packages contain kernel modules that provide the functionality
to mount and use GFS file systems.
These updated packages apply the following bug fixes:
* A bug was fixed which caused a 'gfs_glock_is_locked_by_me(ip->i_gl)'
error in the system log.
* gfs mount attempts no longer hang if no more journals are available.
* GFS filesystems on devices that are not in '/dev/' can now be mounted
properly.
* An assertion (!(lck_ret & LM_OUT_ERROR)) triggered by gfs_grow has been
fixed.
* The noatime and nodiratime options mount options are now properly honored
by the gfs kernel module.
* It was possible for the inode glock holder to never be dequeued through
gfs_readpage which would cause an assertion.
* A bug which caused corruption when a node was forced to withdraw has been
fixed.
* A bug which caused a fault in posix_lock_file() was fixed by implementing
the F_CANCELLK command in gfs_lock().
* A bug which caused gfs to appear to hang due to wasteful prefetching of
locks has been fixed.
Users are advised to upgrade to these latest gfs-kmod packages, which are
updated for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
