Hi,

In case more data helps:

I've seen this too on one of my production machines too. I'm using the XFS
1.0.2 released 2.4.9-13 kernel, modified to update the aacraid driver and
built with egcs 2.91.66.  The machine is a Dell Poweredge 4400 with 1GB of
RAM, hardware raid, and has two 60GB LVM partitions with XFS on them.
Quotas are in use on the XFS disk.  There is an ext2 /, and two other data
mountpoints with ext3 enabled.  The machine had not been rebooted since
the partitions were created at the time the errors started occurring.

There are no "xfs_force_shutdown" or "corruption of in-memory data
detected" messages in my logs.  I have done an xfs_repair on the disk
reporting the no such file or directory errors (I was seeing them when my
nightly backups ran), and didn't save the logs, sorry.  The files that it
couldn't find disappeared with the xfs_repair.  All the data was placed on
the partition that played up either via NFS or samba.

Chris
