You're essentially saying that you must stick with old, (apparently)
buggy code.  We simply don't have the bandwidth to support xfs & kernel
code from 1 year ago.

Your best bet would be to look through the mailing list archives to see
if anyone has had a similar problem, and see if a mod was checked in to
fix it; then try to backport that fix.

This thread makes it sound like it may well be an underlying kernel
problem with 2.4.5-era kernels.
