[Ocfs2-users] Upgrading ocfs2 when applying kernel patches.

[mwoods at fnal.gov]

Sunil,

A version of 1.2.4 for the 2.6.9-55 kernel would be very helpful. Please
provide one.

This would allow me to apply an ocfs that is compatible to the new kernel
and then plan a more extensive outage later to upgrade all the servers at
one time to the 1.2.5 ocfs version.

Thanks,

Mike Woods

                                       when applying kernel patches.       
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           




Or we could provide 1.2.4 for 2.6.9-55. If you still have this
issue, we could always do that. Let me know.
