Package: gfs-tools
Version: 2.20080227-0ubuntu1
Severity: important

I want to initialize a partition filesystem as GFS but the mkfs.gfs command fails with the following error:

  gfs_mkfs: locktable error: missing colon in the locktable

mkfs.gfs2 has the same problem.

mkfs.ext3 works as usual.

Regards,

 - Salva
