I posted about a week ago that SGI's 2.4.31-xfscvs20050617 is also totally 
unusable as an NFS server (exporting XFS), though the failure mode is 
slightly different.  Mount's succeed.  File access by clients fail.

I suspect there's been some common bug introduced into both the 2.4 and 
2.6 XFS drivers.
