Hi,

somewhere after the release of 2.6.24 my xfs filesystem got corrupted.
Initialy I thought it was only related to the readdir bug.
(http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2008-02/msg00027.html) So I waited for
the fix to go into mainline. Yesterday I tried again, but got this
error during boot:

<sniped>

We've had a few problems reported with XFS on 32-bit powermacs and the
culprit appears to be some changes to bit manipulation routines.  Could you
please try reverse applying the attached patches and see if the problem is
resolved?

I saw, that you already pushed it into mainline - for a good reason ;-) Works as expeted.


Please also don't forget 2.6.24-stable !

The changes that caused this regression went into 2.6.25-rc1 so no need for a 2.6.24 stable fix.
