Yeah, one of my general criteria is that I've got the patch in ocfs2.git and
it's been pushed upstream (or will be very soon). So if you're getting the
latest kernel, you'd have all the backports from previous kernel versions up
until your kernel was released.

Hmm, going by what was in that exchange, I'd say that it wouldn't likely fix
the problem for you, unfortunately.

I'd sure like to figure out what's happening on your machines though... Did
you ever get the scanlocks output?
