That's the problem though, it won't actually let me mount the "disk"  
because of this problem.

Sounds like my best option is to try and patch the gfs_fsck code in  
RHE4 and see if it still seg-faults on me...

If that doesn't work, i'm guessing a move to RHEL5 would be the next  
step, but given the actual value of the data, probably not worth it at  
this point.

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how it goes.
