Sorry, that was only a type of mine. The trailing dot was there when I tried 
this... :-)

I tried that before (XFS-1.0.2 under 2.4.14,) but with very bad results: After 
some gigs I would receive the following errors (more or less reproducably):

    Dec 18 13:46:39 Fileserver kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(sd(8,37),0x8) called 
from line 1020 of file xfs_trans.c.  Return address = 0xe093c9aa
    Dec 18 13:46:39 Fileserver kernel: Corruption of in-memory data detected.  
Shutting down filesystem: sd(8,37)
    Dec 18 13:46:39 Fileserver kernel: Please umount the filesystem, and 
rectify the problem(s)

I have to admit that these kernels have been compiled with an "unsupported" 
compiler: "gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)". I now have re-
compiled the kernel with "gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 
release)". Do you think that will do me any good?

Thanks,

Ralf
