The glibc RPM build is once again failing in an XFS filesystem,

==========================

Reassign, managers don't do PV's.

Also, we appear to be making some progress, first there is 
more than one bug here. The write full page function is broken,
so dirty data is not always swapped out correctly. A fix for
this will be along shortly. 

Secondly, a copy of a file several times bigger than system
memory can generate corruption within the file which appears
consistent with some data being discarded before being written
to disk. In this case kiocluster appears to be necessary to
cause corruption.
