I think this is a testing kernel for RHEL 5.5 (not 5.4!), but it seems to me the best choice as a kernel under CentOS 5.3 at the moment if you are running an nfs server. And only the nfs server needs this kernel to work, the clients can stay with the current kernel 2.6.18-164.el5.
Am I missing something here? We use and love CentOS for its stability and the fact(?) that the upstream provider does extensive QA(?) Now we have a major regression in the 5.4 kernel and the proposal in the bug fix is wait until 5.5 for the patch? or do it yourself - something I do not look forward to doing. Is someone dropping the ball or am I over-reacting?
This is a very unlucky situation, yes. But in my opinion, it is not a CentOS problem. We are only suffering under the missing of a nfs working kernel from RedHat. CentOS is based on RHEL that itself has no better kernel at the moment. But I must confess that I am astounded about this all.
