Another one (see attachement). This time on a server with SAS drives and 
without the lazy-count option:

meta-data=/dev/sdb               isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=27471812 
blks
          =                       sectsz=512   attr=2
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=109887246, imaxpct=25
          =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0
log      =internal               bsize=4096   blocks=32768, version=2
          =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

We really don't want to rollback to 2.6.28.x as this doesn't solve the 
issue.

Any hint would be appreciated.
