Ocfs2 users - Feb 2009 - OCFS2: ERROR (device sdh1): ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks

I'm am getting the following error when writing to an OCF2 filesystem:
 
 
Feb 27 19:06:37 wilracdbdr01 kernel: OCFS2: ERROR (device sdh1):
ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks: Inode 23693699 has a hole at block 6
Feb 27 19:06:37 wilracdbdr01 kernel: File system is now read-only due to
the potential of on-disk corruption. Please run fsck.ocfs2 once the file
system is unmounted.
 
I saw a patch that was released in September 2008.  How do I get this?
I am running the following:
 
[root at wilracdbdr01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ocfs
ocfs2console-1.4.1-1.el5
ocfs2-2.6.18-53.el5-1.2.8-2.el5
ocfs2-tools-1.4.1-1.el5
ocfs2-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5-1.4.1-1.el5

Linux wilracdbdr01.wilm.ppdi.com 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 4
03:51:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This a production system and we are currently unable to start the DB.
 
Thanks,

Daniel

	This basically says that your filesystem does not support sparse
files, but it does have a hole in an inode - which shouldn't happen if
sparse isn't supported.
	Can you send the output of "debugfs.ocfs2 -R 'stat
<23693699>'
/dev/sdh1" and "debugfs.ocfs2 -R stats /dev/sdh1"?

	What patch?  Do you have a link?  Without knowing the patch I
can't tell you whether that patch affects you.

	If you have the appropriate support, you should call support and
file that way.  Support will also want the information I requested
above.
