Hello,

I would like to come back to this thread.

In case you missed it, kernel 2.6.5-7.283 has recently been released and it
should fix bug 165140 "kernel BUG at fs/aio.c:733" .
It was indeed a difficult problem to troubleshoot and fix...


It also contains the OCFS2 .1.2.3 fix for the "ocfs2_extend_file:789 ERROR"
issue indicated in the Oracle Advisory at
 http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/


For more information, see the links below:

I would recommend to test this new kernel as we got good feedback.
