sysname holds "Linux" by default, i.e. what appears when doing a "uname
-s"; nodename should be used to print the machine's hostname, i.e. what
is returned when doing a "uname -n" or "hostname", and what
gethostname(2)/sethostname(2) manipulate, in order to notify the
administrator of the node which is contending to mount the filesystem.

Hello Nikitas!

It looks like some bits of your patches somehow got dropped.

Never mind, they are not relevant.

This looks to have crept in with the port of the patch to RHEL6, which
required the code to stop accessing system_utsname directly and instead
using the init_utsname() helper to access the structure.  That version
of the patch was contributed by an external developer, so I can't really
say why it was done, probably just an oversight.  In our RHEL5 patch it
used to be:

       memcpy(mmp->mmp_nodename, system_utsname.nodename,
              sizeof(mmp->mmp_nodename));

You can add Acked-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca>.

Thanks for the fix.
