[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 Patch] GFS2: fsck.gfs2 finds unlinked inodes on full file systems

[Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>]

Hi,

This doesn't compile....

  CC [M]  fs/gfs2/inode.o
fs/gfs2/inode.c: In function ?gfs2_create_inode?:
fs/gfs2/inode.c:741:2: error: implicit declaration of function
?gfs2_dinode_dealloc?
make[2]: *** [fs/gfs2/inode.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/gfs2] Error 2
make: *** [fs] Error 2
