Steve,
I have encountered another oddity while writing successive files to my high speed XFS partition under linux. The problem that I am seeing is that files are intermittently written in several 1024 block fragments. This filesystem has been performing well for the past two weeks with many directories created, many files written, and many directories deleted. While this would normally not be a problem, it is a big performance hit when it comes time to read the file. Do you have any suggestions on how I might prevent this behavior? I have included the xfs_info and xfs_bmap output below. Thanks.

Rick
