Dear list,
I'm trying to install the CentOS 4 Update 5 Cluster Suite including GFS. When I install the kernel modules cman, dlm, gnbd and GFS from the csgfs yum repository, I get the message that I need to downgrade to kernel 2.6.9-55.EL. As this kernel has problems with dlm I want to stay with my present kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.EL (the problems only appear on very heavy load on GFS).
Is it normal to only be able to run Cluster Suite on this (older) kernel? Is it the same regarding RedHat systems?
Thanks for any answer!
Regards, Sebastian

I think this specific C4.5 version is being addressed. In general however, the answer is yes, the new GFS often comes much later than the new kernel.
I assume that is because it goes through extra testing once the kernel is available.
John.
Thanks for any answer!

did you install the last week csgfs updates? the last one is for -55.0.6 kernel

you say that the gfs mount right with the 55.0.2 kernel and just when there is under high load it claim to downgrade to 2.6.9-55 ? it that so? or you are having problems installing the packages ?
