Hi,

I found this bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459630, but the package versions you list are pretty recent and this was fixed quite a while ago. Are there any older gfs2-utils bits lying around?

I'd like to see the strace of the gfs2_quota command that triggers the meta-mount error. Please also include the command line in your output.

Thanks!
