EXT vs XFS at 80% filled filesystem

[Milind]

Thanks Theodore,
It worked.

I have one question regarding building libuuid.so

$/usr/bin/ldd lib/libuuid.so.1.2 shows
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff075fe000)
libc.so.6=> /home/miline/toolchain/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.7/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007faafef52000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007faaff4a3000)

my CFLAGS are
CFLAGS=-Wl,--dynamic-linker,/home/miline/toolchain/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.7/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,--rpath,/home/miline/toolchain/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.7/lib/

libuuid.so is supposed to have dependancy
on /home/miline/toolchain/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.7/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (third entry in ldd output) right? And not on /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

I tried modifying as follows but didn't really work. Any comments?

lib/uuid/Makefile:321

- @(cd elfshared; $(CC) --shared -o $(ELF_LIB) $(LDFLAGS) \
+ @(cd elfshared; $(CC) --shared -o $(ELF_LIB) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) \
      -Wl,-soname,$(ELF_SONAME) $(OBJS) $(ELF_OTHER_LIBS))


I have seen this problem in xfsprogs package too, should post the fix
in new thread.
