Patch to fix the problem

This is the patch that should fix the problem.  I pushed this
patch upstream to the master branch of the gfs2-utils git tree
and the STABLE3, STABLE3, RHEL5 and RHEL54 branches of the
cluster git tree for inclusion into 5.4.

Fixed in RHEL5.4-Server-20090722.0 with gfs2-utils-0.1.61-1.el5.
Closing the bug as VERIFIED.

   1. Back up your entire filesystem first.
   2. Run gfs_fsck first to ensure filesystem integrity.
   3. Make sure the filesystem is NOT mounted from any node.
   4. Make sure you have the latest software versions.
