If you got something from
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/patches/weekly-snapshot-patch/,
no, they're just snapshots. You pays your money (or not), you takes
your chances. :) And they certainly don't get tested on alpha, we have
nothing but x86 and ia64 here (and an athlon on the way....)
Anyway, on to your question. I would have suggested kdb to find out
where the processes were stuck, but that's not going to work for alpha.
If you can think of a way to hit it on an x86 or ia64 box, kdb might help.
What was the exact test (RPM build) you ran?
