3.19. gfs-kmod

Updated gfs-kmod packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The gfs-kmod packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount and use Global File System (GFS).

Bug Fix

BZ#1066181
Previously, the gfs utility was not synchronizing the inode attributes to disk along with the data for shared mmap() writes. Consequently, files did not have their mtime (modification time) value updated. With this update, gfs writes the inode time stamps to disk when the msync() function is called, and gfs now synchronizes the inode attributes to disk as intended.
Users of gfs-kmod are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
