The XFS 1.0.1 release with 2.4.5. A little bit old. Intel HW.
Better update to something more recent like the 1.1 release. It fixes a lot
of issues including the file corruption during power-off. I do remember
that someone else encountered this with a read_only opened file as well but
not what the cause was.
Upgrading to 1.1 gives you a lot more robust XFS kernel then what yuo have
now and it's handling of open files will possibly be very different in
behaviour then what you see now.
