We are experiencing the same issue with a multipath array an AS 2.1

Comment 3 Jim Paradis 2005-12-08 21:44:52 UTC

Is this issue causing any data loss or corruption, or are you still able to use
the MD array?

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2006-02-25 14:27:11 UTC

No data loss here, but it's damn annoying to have my log files filled with this useless message because 
automated monitoring software calls mount to validate system state frequently, and causes the kernel to 
spew this to /var/log/messages constantly.

Can we please get an errata for 2.1 that will silence this bogus error?

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2006-02-25 21:56:01 UTC

BTW, this is the same issue as 145486, which is older than this bug.  Note that both bugs were opened 
during the Phase 2 (Deployment Support) of RHEL 2.1, so this issue should qualify for a bug fix errata, 
especially since it was caused by a RHEL 2.1 kernel update that changed the behavior of the userspace 
interface from the original shipped kernel in RHEL 2.1.

Comment 6 Jim Paradis 2006-02-28 19:09:27 UTC

At this time RHEL2.1 kernel errata are only released for the most severe issues
such as data corruption or security vulnerabilities.  This issue will not be fixed.
