I did not see any "---" you can see a copy at:

The problem I am running into is that the newer versions require a new 
kernel and not work with xen. I am running:

[root at xen0 ~]# yum list installed |grep gfs
gfs-utils.x86_64                         0.1.17-1.el5           installed
gfs2-utils.x86_64                        0.1.44-1.el5_2.1       installed
kmod-gfs-xen.x86_64                      0.1.23-5.el5           installed
kmod-gfs-xen.x86_64                      0.1.23-5.el5_2.4       installed

I know I screwed up, I should never have use GFS2, but is there any way to 
pull the data off?
