Hi David,

This indicates gfs2 is having trouble resolving and freeing all its 
glocks, which usually means a reference counting problem or ail (active 
items list) problem during unmount.

If gfs2_gl_hash_clear gets stuck for a long period of time it is 
supposed to dump the remaining list of glocks that still have not been 
resolved. I think it takes 10 minutes or so. Can you post the console 
messages that follow? That will help us figure out what's happening. Thanks.

Regards,

Bob Peterson
