[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 v.1.2.5 question

[Sunil Mushran]

No. And, that's the unfortunate part. The o2net handshaking now includes
the timeouts so as to ensure they are the same. When we made a similar
change with config disk timeouts, we opted for the "post an error message"
in hopes users will "fix" the mismatch. Unfortunately, our experience taught
us otherwise. Now we ensure all the timeouts, net + disk, are the same for
all nodes in a cluster.

The good news is that they are very small bug fixes included in the 
"potential"
1.2.5. Well, atleast till now. So there should be no reason to 
immediately upgrade.
