Subject: Re: OCFS2 mainline state?

Hi

I was testing this path in august and  i have two patch applied for ocfs2
The one your referring and also  a changed in file.c

At the time of the test, the two patch were necessary ( and both
suppress a BUG although
not the same one)

Sorry i have no idea if it's still necessary or not, but i prefer to
send you a notice
