[SSI-devel] [CFS] Only when CFS is turned on, Mailman fails to start.

Bounced.  Sending again.
----------
Mailman fails to start only when CFS is turned on.  I'm running latest SSI 
kernel from CVS (up to about Dec 12th 17:00 UTC) and OPENSSI-FC utilrpms on 
FC2.

I've asked Mailman to see if it is a Mailman issue, but according to this 
guy from RedHat apparently not.  I was able to start the same Mailman 
version on a NFS client running RH8 (Vanilla kernel-2.4.27 Python 2.2.1).  I 
was able to start Mailman on the initnode with Fedora Core 2 supplied 
kernel-2.6.5.  With the SSI kernel, I had to turn off CFS before I could 
start Mailman.

To replicate this issue in SSI.  Install the latest Mailman from Fedora Core 
2 updates.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/mailman-2.1.5-7.i386.rpm

Make sure CFS is enabled for ext3 local device.
# service mailman start
You'll see tracebacks.
# service mailman start
You might see a different traceback.

To see if mailman is really running,
# service mailman status
# ps -ef | grep qrun

Turn off CFS by editing /cluster/lib/cfstab and in initrd.  Reboot.
Now try starting mailman.
