Just to let everyone know, I had posted a message about a stall during large directory/file copy between ext2 and XFS earlier, using cvs 2.4.19-rc1-xfs. This turned out with a happy ending: within the 2.8 GB of files were some device special files, which cp does not know how to copy (e.g., how large is /dev/random and /dev/urandom?), and the cause was neither a bug nor in any way related to XFS. Use of find with cpio solved the problem, since this does not try to copy contents of device special files.
