As Bruce said, you need to mount with -onolock. Please unmount _all_
your cfs partitions, then mount them again with -onolock.
Note that -oremount,nolock will not work and for some kernels, mounting
while you have the same cfs partition mounted somewhere else will cause
the kernel to use the 'old' mount options.
See /proc/mounts to find out which mount options the kernel is actually
using.
