Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The sosreport command warns that the kmod-gfs2 package is installed:

    GFS2 is being used via weak-updates, kmod-gfs2 should be uninstalled and system rebooted to allow for kernel provided gfs2 module to be used.
    
  • The kmod-gfs2 module is definitely not installed but sosreport continues warning that it is.
