[Ocfs2-users] Ocfs2 patch set for Linux v2.6.23 now available, 2.6.22.6 EOL

[Michael Moody]

Dear Mark,

As yet, I haven't been able to get that output, as the last time it 
happened, we neglected to run my scripts in our haste to bring things 
back to a working status. And, we've come up with a "workaround" for the 
moment of taking the other 2 (it's a 3 server cluster) nodes down in 
terms of apache during file operations. If it happens again, I'll be 
sure to capture that output, because I too want to get this problem 
resolved for everyone.

Thanks,
Michael
