Hi I have install the kernel using the Centosplus repo .. currenlly the kernel is 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus but how would i know if that patch is fixed in this version of the kernel as mentioned in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3156 -- Regards Agnello D'souza
How about reading the bug you linked where it states quite explicitly that it was fixed in the 5.3 centos plus kernel (2.6.18-128.el5.centos.plus) and recognising the version number as previous to the one you just installed...

And if you wish to confirm that the patch is in the current centosplus kernel you are running, issue a command:
rpm -q --changelog kernel-`uname -r` | more
You will find this line:
- added reiserfs patch (bug3156)
somewhere near the top of the output.
