[CentOS] Journal Aborts in VMware ESX (Filesystem Corruption)

[Keith Beeby]

Hi

Also seeing this issue with CentOS 5.4 and 5.5 with NFS shared storage, according the the VMware knowledge base article this should have been resolved in v5.1 update??.

Does changing the vm.min_free_kbytes value apply CentOS v.5.4 and 5.5 as well to resolve the issue?
