Hi!
The XFS System in Kernel 2.6.17.13 is unusable broken.
I have several servers and clients using XFS as root FS.

The Last screen of death (digicam):
http://www.automatix.de/~jojo/xfs-error-kernel-2.6.17.13.jpg

On many systems (Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS) with own kernel 2.6.17.13 it happens,
that the kernel crashes like the "upper screen dump".

Booting form Knoppix 5.01 CD can _not_ xfs_repair the filesystem.

This bug make the system completely unusable.
It is not possible to "rm -rf" or to get the filesystem in any clean/usable 
state.

There are no "badblocks" (since hardware RAID 5 controllers like mgega_raid, 
icp vortex, 3ware)
are used.
Installing a fresh, system does show up the problem after somewhat time in 
production again.

So what to do ?
Please help!
