Description Ken Roser 2007-12-12 23:16:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm running a two cluster system with both nodes RHEL 5.1.  I have shared gfs2
filesystems on a SAN storage device.

Everything seems to work except for the first time I attempt to run an
executable on one of the gfs2 filesystems.  The first time I get "permission
denied", but all subsequent attempts work as expected.  If I unmount and mount
the filesystem, again the "permission denied" problem returns just for the first
time I try to execute the file.

I'm using lock_dlm with 4 journals.  I see no message in /var/log/messages
corresponding to the "permission denied" problem. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%.

Moving all RHCS ver 5 bugs to RHEL 5 so we can remove RHCS v5 which never existed.

Proposed patch

This is my current patch. Let me know what you think. This is for upstream, and
RHEL doesn't need the changes in ops_address.c.
