Hi, I've had some reports recently that appeared to suggest that in F17, GFS2 was no longer being supported by the kernel. Having investigated this, it appears that the root cause is that the gfs2.ko module has been moved to a package called kernel-modules-extra (although the kernel RPM still contains the directory in which the gfs2 module sits, which is a bit odd - why package an empty directory?) Now, I'm wondering whether I should add a dependency on kernel-modules-extra in the gfs2-utils package? There was never a dep on the kernel package in gfs2-utils - it seemed a bit pointless, really :-) However I can see that we'll land up with a lot of confused users I think, when they get an error message implying that the Fedora kernel no longer supports GFS2. Also, I wonder whether we could arrange for the loading of a kernel module that isn't installed, but that is in the kernel-modules-extra package to trigger some kind of notice to the user, that this is the case and they need to install the additional package?
