No.

I haven't experienced anything like that before, I'm using xfs since
2.4.9 without any trouble.
I didn't post about my hardware-setup as suggested in the FAQ: Intel
LX Chipset, WDC WD300BB-00AUA1 ATA DISK drive
I repeated that test I did yesterday once again and that is what
xfs_check told me afterwards: (the first error-entries in
/var/log/messages occured when the file had approximately 1GB)

Doing 'cat file-with-700MB >> otherfile' repeatedly let me produce a
file with 9GB without any problems on this partition.
[time passes]
Finally, I grabbed a kernel from cvs today, and all I can say is that
all works fine right now. I've just dd'ed a file with 3GB without any
problem.
Best Regards,
Daniel
