Re: Problem with XFS and JFS

[Ivan Kocher <ikocher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By now I can't do that ...

I run jfs_fsck on the partition, and that removed the problem... I hope 
it doesn't bite me again.

I will try to reproduce the bug next week, by now I must set this units 
in production, and can make more test on this matter.

I am still wondering what went wrong.  I _like_ xfs, is has proven to me 
that it really delivers, but well under certain conditions I went for 
jfs ...  :(
