AW: kernel bug

Hello,

I would like to come back to this thread.

In case you missed it, kernel 2.6.5-7.283 has recently been
released and it 
should fix bug 165140  "kernel BUG at
fs/aio.c:733" . 
It was indeed a difficult problem to troubleshoot and fix...


It also contains the OCFS2 .1.2.3 fix  for the
"ocfs2_extend_file:789 ERROR" 
issue indicated in the Oracle Advisory at 
	http://oss.orac
le.com/projects/ocfs2/


For more information, see the links below:

I would recommend to test this new kernel as we got good
feedback.

Hi,

we had a kernel crash with a system which had the last
kernel patches  
installed.

Kernel 2.6.5-7.283 did -not- fix the kernel BUG at
fs/aio.c:733
with bug number 165140

regards,

Toni
