Stephane -
Just to be clear, you mean that this problem:
> Even with a terminal sometimes the "ls -l to*" commands gives you a
> list but "cp to* /tmp" does not copy all the files that matches "to*" !!!!
happens even with a local disc? (not over NFS?)
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your answer,
As you said in your message I have decided to go further with my tests
without using
XFS on root partition ( but it would still be interesting to know how to
do it ). I
do not know if the problem I see has something to do with the ramdisk
loading.
During my tests I have seen very very strange behaviour with this
distrib. The main
part of my problems came out when I tried to use my newly installed
server with our
software as an NFS client to read images files shared by some IRIX and
Linux nfs
servers. It seems that sometimes some nfs shared files simply disapears
!!!. Under
havy loads I have even seen the whole nfs mounted partition that was not
accessible
anymore ( ls -l gives "no match" !!! ).
Even with a terminal sometimes the "ls -l to*" commands gives you a list
but "cp to*
/tmp" does not copy all the files that matches "to*" !!!!
The same tests works fine on same hardware with RH7.0.
To me it seems that this distrib is far from been usable in a production
environment.
We are really in search of a good journaling file system to use in a
pre-press
environment as we did in the past with IRIX. In the near futur we are
going to
implement several big pre-press sites with Linux and I need to qualify a
stable and
relayable platform on which I could plug a 500Gb RAID.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Best Regards,
Stephane Klein.
