The utility "fsck.gfs2" produced the following error and then seg faulted while checking a RHEL 7 GFS2 filesystem: "Error: too many missing or damaged rgrps using this method. Time to try another method.."

Issue

The tool fsck.gfs2 could not repair a gfs2 filesystem and error was generated. In addition a segfault was generated by fsck.gfs2.
