Hallo.
The problem that i have with our server dosen't have anyhing to do with the
xfs filesystem,
there was a problem with the kerneldriver of the HP NetRAIN-1M controler
(MegaRAID) and
the HP server motherboard. This problem was fixed with kernel 2.4.7.
since i use the kernel 2.4.7 with the xfs patch the server works fine
Thanks for your assistance
To info:
megeraid.c
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,0)
+#if 0
+/*
+ * This leads to corruption on some HP boards so disable it
+ */
pcibios_read_config_dword (pciBus, pciDevFun,
PCI_CONF_AMISIG64,
&magic64);
if (magic64 == AMI_64BIT_SIGNATURE)
flag |= BOARD_64BIT;
+#endif

May I suggest you install RedHat 7.1-XFS on one machine just to make
sure
your hardware is okay? This could make your life much easier.
