(I posted following question in users forum, but perhaps here is the right place)
Hi,
we was running OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14 (on a Red Hat 5.2) and using GFS, and works quite good.
After migrating to 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5.028stab059.3 we noticed gfs module didn't work, and we saw that other users had the same
problem, and that the solution is to return to previous version.
We have set up a new server with this last OpenVZ version and GFS2, and although gfs2 module is load without problems, it seems
there are other issue related to gfs2 and devices access, getting the following message when trying to run a vzctl enter command:
"Unable to open pty: Invalid argument"
Also the problem has been confirmed by other users.
So, is there a prevision to solve this problems?
What is the right way at the moment? Old version with GFS? Will the gfs module work again in future releases?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Frank,
surely gfs will be fixed in future releases.
For now please, use older kernel with working gfs module or you can fix gfs in the current kernel by yourself and recompile the kernel.
The fix is extremely easy:
--- old/fs/gfs/proc.c 2008-10-24 12:52:30.000000000 +0400
+++ new/fs/gfs/proc.c 2008-10-24 12:53:43.000000000 +0400

}
Hope this helps.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
