[Ocfs2-users] A free space trouble in a ocfs2 partition

[Juan Pablo Marco Cardona]

Hi Sunil,

this is the kernel version:

uname -a
Linux srvfcor001.cast-info.es 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 14 
06:36:37 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and the ocfs2 version:

ocfs2-tools-1.4.2-1.el5
ocfs2-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5-1.4.2-1.el5
ocfs2console-1.4.2-1.el5

modinfo ocfs2 | grep ^version:
version:        1.4.2

We have to upgrade to ocfs2 1.4.4 driver to fix this trouble, right?
We do have to to any aditional steps to fix the trouble? Or with the 
ocfs2 upgrade is just enough ?

Thank you!

Regards,
Pablo
