Yes - We had those errors to: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to free lock with active block list" - on 2.6.10 on the webservers, which was fixed with that particular patch. But this is a different error as our mailservers dont't act as NFS clients. All use local XFS. Sad thing is that the mailservers crashes every 10-20 hours on 2.6.x, but I'm not able to reproduce it in a test environment, and at time of original post to LKML noone was able to do anything about it without a reproduceable testcase. :( > > ======= > > Resolution to the storage server problem: > > 2.6.8.1 UP is stable (but oopses regularly after memory allocation > > failures) > > My XFS-fileserver ran 2.6.9-rc3 stable since october 25.
