Did you try newer utilities to create the filesystem or newer repair tools 
perhaps? That might help.
The 1.1 release is some time ago and the world has changed significantly 
since then.

I believe ipsec plays nice with 2.4.19. Afaik nothing fundamental changed 
from 2.4.18 to 2.4.19. I'll try it out when I have time. 2.4.18 is ok and 
stable for me but the newer XFS code is only made available in CVS or 
releases.

Maybe a 2.4.19 XFS release when 2.4.19 is done ;) *wink*
