Anyway, it's probably best to get in touch with the XFS maintainers first in case they have ideas for tracking it down more easily. Please send a summary of the symptoms so far to x...@oss.sgi.com, cc-ing either me or this bug log so we can track it. Be sure to mention: - what steps you perform to reproduce this, what happens, and how that differs from what you expected (should be easy in this example) - which kernel versions you have tried and results from each - "dmesg" output from booting up as an attachment, if you happen to have it - what kind of further debugging you would be able and not able to do - a link to this bug log, in case someone wants to read the full story If we are lucky, someone on that list might suggest commands to help diagnose it, which should make it easier for others to artificially reproduce, see if 3.x.y is affected, and make sure it is fixed in 3.x.y and 2.6.32.y.
