Re: XFS Patches for redhat kernel

[Fabrice Ferrero <fabriceferrero@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for info,
I've got the same problems with some Hitachi (old IBM) disk drives.
It appears to be a bug (!!!) with the IDE cache of the drive. There's 
some patches from Hitachi web site; peharps with Maxtor (lot of problems 
with Maxtor's drives).
So, look at their web site. I don't think it's an XFS problem.
Just another thing. Do you have this problem if you power off, then 
power on your computer ?
My problems happened just after a reboot (init 6), but never after a 
power off.
Go luck
