it would seem that the future ocfs2 (0.99.16>) builds will not support =< 2.6.12 kernels "out of the box" or am i missing something? 0.99.13 will build with a RHEL4 kernel, but later vers fail with the configure check on generic_drop_inode. the patch to fix it seems simple enough, however it seems that even if this was an rpm, youd have to rebuild your kernel before proceeding.

Infact there is another fix, "JBD hang on recovery fix" which falls under the same category. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162728 Both fixes have been accepted upstream. Both Red Hat and SuSE are aware and will be releasing the fixes with some kernel hotfix.
