[Linux-cluster] Re: GFS2 corruption/withdrawal/crash

[Wendell Dingus]

Thanks very much for the update. Hopefully by now it might have completed. 

Since it takes so long to run (here) I'm hoping to be able to
correct it's ills over the weekend. If you are not complete or your 
results are inconclusive do you think running the already existing
fsck.gfs2 against the filesystem *twice* would be worthwhile?

Thanks...
