Fixed In Version: gfs-kmod-0.1.34-14.el5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When a Global File System (GFS) does not have enough journals, an attempt to mount it can fail, and an error message is written to standard error. However, this message was not very informative, and did not include important information required to determine the cause of the problem. With this update, the kernel now returns the "-EUSERS" error code, which allows the mount.gfs utility to recognize this error, and display more informative message.
