Re: unable to use dpkg 2.6.15-rc2

hi,

i just wanted to confirm this issue and provide additional information. 
i can trigger the bug quite reliably when trying to "mv" directories to 
or within an xfs-partition. the last directory was only 40MB containing 
8000 files (a git-repo). the "mv" process stays in "D" state, is 
unkillable and strace'ing the process makes strace going into "D" state. 
fwiw, i've strace'd the strace:
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/2.6.15-rc2/mv.strace

the box is running 2.6.15-rc2 (i386) with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y and 
CONFIG_4KSTACKS=y. more details here:
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/2.6.15-rc2/

no raid-controller involved.

thanks,
Christian.
