Description Corey Marthaler 2007-03-23 21:27:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
I was running revolver on the 4 node x86_64 link cluster with 2 gfs filesystems
(one w/ 2 legs and one with 3 legs). During the second iteration I failed
link-04 and that cause the mirror recovery to go hay wire. When I brought
link-04 back into the cluster and attempt to remount the first gfs, it hung.

I'll leave the cluster in this state if you'd like to gather more info then
provided below:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-50.ELsmp
cmirror-kernel-2.6.9-25.0
Comment 1 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2007-03-24 04:30:59 UTC 
'Reason' should be a negative number.  This suggests that the client is
recieving a message from the server that is not a response that it is expecting.

sequence numbers were put int (3/22/2007) to fix this problem.  The
cmirror-kernel package you are using was built 3/14/2007.
