Mark,

I think that SLES includes your kernel module in its distributions &
regular updates these days.  

When will Red Hat be doing this for RHEL?

Regards,
Tim

He never said it was _required_ for him to download a mainline kernel.

To clarify - the 1.2.x series (for which we make rpms available) is a
bugfix
only release. Anything that's fixed in mainline is backported to that
svn
branch. Most of the time fixes get uploaded simultaneously. If you don't
believe me, subscribe to the ocfs2-commits list (which tracks 1.2.x
commits).

So, please try to relax, and cut down on the constant yelling. It
doesn't
help anyone...
