Hi Paras,

Your block allocation problem will probably be fixed by this upstream
patch to GFS2:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-2.6-nmw.git;a=commitdiff;h=9cabcdbd4638cf884839ee4cd15780800c223b90

I tracked it down.  I ported the patch to RHEL5 and now it doesn't
happen.  Unfortunately, my ported  patch needs cleaning: I've got
a bunch of instrumentation for other reasons in there.
