Failure of xfstest 229

[Chandra Seetharaman]

It is strange then.

It is the same system, and it failed few hours after it succeeded in
2.6.39.

Basically, I saw seeing the failure with 2TB fs. I thought I will try it
with a 20GB fs, and the very first time it succeeded, but after that it
never did even with the same kernel (2.6.39).
