When upgrading from a 2.6.25 kernel to a 2.6.26 kernel, GFS is unable to create files over ~3KB in size and will crash the system if you try to create/delte files for a while. I upgraded to 2.6.26 and every file i copied to my gfs partition that was over 3kb got copied over with a filesize of 0. After doing several actions on those files (copy/delete) the system hangs and needs a powercycle to be able to access the gfs system again.
