You didn't perhaps get a stack trace along with that message, did you? That would go a long way in figuring out what exactly went wrong. But here's a wild stab in the dark. Do you know if a suid root file was being copied to your gfs file system? That has caused a similar error on other versions of gfs (although not with nfs). -Ben On Tue, Sep 20, 2005 at 02:15:39PM -0400, Gerald G.
