[Linux-cluster] NFS + GFS = kernel panic

Thanks, tried that, but we have Mac's that insist on locking.  The
only way to get NFS locking is with the kernel NFS daemon.

I do have more on the assertion:

"(tmp_gh->gh_flags & GL_LOCAL_EXCL) || !(gh->gh_flags & GL_LOCAL_EXCL)"
on line 1366 of fs/gfs/glock.c

Is this related to locks from NFS being sent through to the GFS
locking code?
