Tru,
I work at a university. They don't provide enough money for test environments :). Just kinda odd, last time kernel update, gfs updated at the same time so all was well. But twice now kernel has upgraded with no GFS so it went bye-bye. Is the GFS being installed, compiled against particular kernel headers, or could I just copy the /fs/gfs and /fs/gfs_locking to the new kernel /lib/modules (or symlink for that matter) and be lucky enough it would work?
Please be aware that redhat releases GFS at a different time than the, usually 2-3 days later (at the earliest).
In this case, here are the upstream release dates:
kernel - 5/7/2008 gfs kmods - 5/9/2008
my point is that even upstream does not release these at the same time.
What you should do (and what everyone who has kmods on c4 should do) is to exclude kernels from automatic updates ... then you can manually update the kernels and kmods together separately.
