Hello Sathya,

If you are experiencing GFS2 withdraws you may be running into a bug , 
filesystem corruption, or both. If you have a Red Hat support contract I 
suggest opening a support case with Red Hat as soon as possible. When you open 
the support case you'll want to attach sosreports from all nodes (run the 
sosreport command on every node in the cluster and attach the resultant 
tarballs to the support case.) If you've hit a withdraw you are likely to keep 
hitting them and data loss or corruption is a tangible possibility; Red Hat 
support can help identify the source of the issue and provide relief.

If you don't have a Red Hat support contract then please reply to the thread 
with the kernel versions you are running on all nodes and the full withdraw 
message and call traces from the messages logs on the affected cluster. You'll 
be able to identify the withdraw easily in the logs. We'll want the withdraw 
messages which will include a pointer to the position in code where the error 
occurred and the nature of the withdraw. We'll also need the stack trace that 
follows the withdraw as it will allow us to understand the code path involved.

Thanks,
Adam
