Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as "new 6" and "a different solution". The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined). Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot. There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to regression errors.
