[Linux-cluster] GFS2 loses data under kernel 2.6.24...

[Adrian Bridgett]

I've just been doing some GFSv2 testing and saw this under stock 2.6.24.
In fact what we saw was that files under 4K were fine, those over 4K
were truncated to 0bytes on the other node.

I tried that patch - no change (after mkfs too).

I then tried 2.6.25-rc1.  Did mkfs, mount (okay), mount on the 2nd box
hung, then "ls" on the first box also hung.  I rebooted and tried again
(mkfs, etc) - this time it was all okay and the files were all fine on
the 2nd box.

All just FYI (but comments still appreciated ;-))

Thanks,

Adrian
