Looks like it's stuck in a loop doing XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT. I think I'm
hitting something similar. In my case I'm running on ia64 and the
system becomes totally unresponsive. Luckily I have KDB. :)
Can you run some of the XFS QA suite from CVS? 013 in particular has
been exposing this to me. Run it on a scratch partition.
