Hi Dave!

 * I'm attaching the latest kern.log, unedited
 * I am syncing the gentoo portage tree, not much data but many small
files (currently 228MiB in 117880 files). This sync is done twice per hour.
 * I already posted my xfs_info and mount options in another post. Maybe
i should note that the loop file system was deliberately created with
blocksize=512 to accommodate the fs to the nature of the portage tree
(many small files...)
 * TBH i don't know about any special configuration of the loop device.
I just created an empty file with "dd if=/dev/zero ..." and then did
mkfs.xfs on it.

80% of my machines are 64-bit and i never saw anything like that on
them. But otoh i dont' use loop devices very much. Unfortunately this is
machine is old hardware (P4 class) which can't run a 64-bit kernel.

Already did that yesterday and i can confirm it has the same problem -
so no regression. The kern.log i attached to this mail is from Kernel
2.6.35.8

cheers,
Michael
