Hi ayatu@xxxxxx,

first of all, you kernel seems to be 'way outdated. There where so many 
changes in the last weeks (in fact, i should say mounths ;-)), you realy 
should consider an update. Im running SuSE-8.0's kernel with XFS-support 
on some boxes with Zero problems :-). The first oops came from uagentd 
(that's ArcServe's UNIX/Linux Agent, isn't it). Perhaps he has a problem 
with xfs (is ArcServe able to backup XFS-ACL/EAs ??).


Ciao
Klaus

P.S.: For you anti-linux camp. I just rebooted both our 'Active 
Directory' Controller and our Exchange Server, 'cause Exchange refused 
to receive any mail directed to him from one minute to the other. Hm, 
last week i saw a nice signature : ' Microsoft Pullution Survivor'.
