I'm testing SPECsfs against the 2.4.7 cvs XFS patch and it's failing
the validation phase. The problem is that directories are being
created with the wrong permissions. You can see it like this:

mount localhost:/export /mnt
cd /mnt
umask 0
mkdir foo
ls -ld foo

I thought initially it was a nfsd bug, perhaps getting the umask
wrong, but I found that the bug doesn't happen with ext2. Also,
creating files does get the right permisisons, but directories are
wrong. 

Any ideas? Known problem perhaps? I'm new to XFS.

Cheers, Tridge
