I am encountering the FAQ'd bug that prevents xfs_growfs from working on a resized LVM volume. The workaround (umount and xfs_repair) does work, but I was wondering if I could be of some assistance in tracking the bug down? Since it is highly reproducible, I can gather any gatherable information. FWIW, I'm running on:
Athlon XP CPU
Debian Sid
Kernel 2.6.0-test3 (almost stock)
LVM2 on dev-mapper

A (mildly) interesting datapoint is that an incomplete xfs_repair (it errrored out in Phase 6 because of insufficient space) still corrected the problem, so some write operation that takes place in Phases 1-5 fixes the issue.

I've included a log of a failed xfs_growfs, a xfs_repair, and a successful xfs_growfs below.
