Do you have any more info on the crash? I'd be interested in what
the NM thread did to kill itself... Or is this that bug where one of the
devices fields on a bh was not set?

Well, it's supposed to be happening in ocfs_dismount_volume, which *does*
get called if ocfs_mount_volume returns an error. Why isn't it happening
there? Is it because "osb->dlm_task" hasn't been set yet?
