[Linux-cluster] Problems with GFS2 faulting.

[Eric Renfro]

It's not RHEL, as I stated in my post. It's Ubuntu 10.04.1 with the 
ubuntu-ha-maintainer PPA for pacemaker 1.0.8, open-iscsi 2.0.871, and 
gfs2-tools 3.0.7.

I have, also stated, tried without multipathed iSCSI and just used a 
singular iSCSI target for the nodes having problems, with the same 
situation. The issue is strictly with GFS2 somehow after locking and 
unlocking files. In fact, it can't be iSCSI at all, because the root 
filesystem of both nodes are iSCSI targets provided by kvm on the host 
OS, and they have given no issues as a result to iSCSI related issues. 
If it would be caused by iSCSI blocking, it would happen to the root 
filesystem as well I'm sure.
