Hello,
At our company we've got a problem with XFS and NFS on the fileserver.
The problem seems to be like one describe in bug report 309
(http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=309) and which seems to be
resolved by a temporary fix in the patch 108
(http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=108).
First of all is there a more "official" patch which resolves this bug?
My second question is that why XFS module in the kernel source found on
kernel.org is part of the linux-2.6.x-OLD CVS tree? I saw that when I
looked to the patch 108 and a file concerned by it (xfs_iget.c). The
patch replace a line by another one (make_bad_inode(inode); is replaced
by remove_inode_hash(inode);). This patch applies well on kernel.org
kernel sources. But when I looked at this file (xfs_iget.c) in the CVS
tree, I saw that it contains both lines. So my question is what is CVS
tree version? the file xfs_iget.c wasn't modified recently but it isn't
part of "official" kernel.org sources, why new linux-xfs (I notice that
it's a new one resulting from linux 2.4 and linux 2.6 merging in january
2004) hasn't been merged into recent kernel sources?
I hope you'll understand my message, my english is very poor.
Thank you
Cedric
