Hi Stephen,

We have another report of this bug when gfs2 was exported using NFS. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059808. Are you using
NFS in your setup as well? We have not able to reproduce it to figure
out what might be going on. Do you have a set procedure that you're
able to recreate with reliably? If so, it would be of great help.
Also, more info about your setup (file sizes, number of files, how
many nodes mounting gfs2, what kinds of operations are being run)
etc would be helpful as well.

Cheers!
