I'm testing a v2.4.9 Linux kernel with your XFS-patch applied on
a IBM Netfinity 5500 with two Xeon-CPU's and 2Gb RAM.
The machine runs completely well in a couple of hours but does then
suddenly crash totaly without any error messages at all.
There seems to be something concerning race conditions between
SMP locking and file locking but we are not sure.
Just now are the machine running with the same kernel but in
single CPU-mode and have done so for a week or more.
All partitions on the machine are using XFS filesystem.
Are any of you on the list knowing of any problem like this
that can get our machine run more than 6-9 hours wich are the
maximum uptime we have reached so far.
