Hiya,
I am intrigued by the message below by Eric. I have 4 machines running
with XFS on kernel 2.4 with software-or-hardware RAID arrays well over 1
TB in size. Have I just been lucky that the filesystems have not been
trashed itself yet? Time to hug my backups even tighter!? :)
Thanks,
Daryl

The linux 2.4 kernel really can't handle > 1T block devices. You're
probably seeing something wrapping around 32 bits and clobbering the
filesystem. If you really need > 1T, use 2.6 with CONFIG_LBD enabled.
This is a core kernel I/O path issue, not oan xfs issue.
See http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/LargeBlockDevices
for more information.
If you can reproduce this with a filesystem < 1T, please re-open.
