So it's the latter. Could you give the precise kernel version in which you encountered this bug? Writing a patch for 2.6.9-rc1-mm2 and expecting it to be used may be too much to ask for...

I was using 2.6.7 patched with everything under the cluster trunk as per the instructions here:
http://gfs.wikidev.net/Kernel_configuration
I'll give the 2.6.9-rc1-mm2 kernel a try and let you know...
Thanks,
