  "Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV."

Very nice  ;-)

I'm have to regret that I'm neither an XFS developer nor do I pretend
to be one. Yet, as I understand, I should see at least _some_ debug
info via 'dmesg', if there is any. Apparently the kernel is now having
XFS with debugging enabled:

Jun  7 18:53:33 isnix1 kernel: SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, large block/inode numbers, debug enabled
Jun  7 18:53:33 isnix1 kernel: SGI XFS Quota Management subsystem
Jun  7 18:53:33 isnix1 kernel: XFS mounting filesystem cciss/c0d0p2
[...]


....  but aside from the well-known messages as:

Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir at monad.swb.de).
NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery
directory
NFSD: unable to find recovery directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery
NFSD: starting 90-second grace period
reconnect_path: npd != pd
reconnect_path: npd != pd
reconnect_path: npd != pd
[...]


....  I'm unable to find any helpful information in this context.
Anything I could try - this sunday evening ?

Cheers,
	Martin.
