2008.02.06: OCFS2 1.2.8-2

 

OCFS2 1.2.8-2 for RHEL4 and RHEL5 is released.

 

This release includes a performance fix, a bug fix in the DLM and one in the FS.

 

The performance fix concerns an unnecessary bitmap scan that added to the cpu usage. The fix was contributed by Jan Kara of Novell.

 

The bug fix in the DLM concerns frozen nodes after a node in the cluster dies. This bug was introduced in 1.2.7-1 and is not in the earlier releases. Users using 1.2.7-1 should schedule an upgrade to 1.2.8-2.

 

The bug fix in the FS concerns a tight race between rename and unlink.

 

Relevant changes post 1.2.7-1 are listed below.
