Hi!

I would be glad if anybody can give me any hint on the following
subject.
I have a linux server running formatted with XFS. Afer a couple of days
(about 6 or 7) I get the following crash:

The system is a Dell R910 (Intek Xeon CPU E7530, 24 cores (with
hyperthreading).
32GB Ram, Raid Controller is Perc H700, SAS discs, Raid 5 with 1.7TB,
formatted with XFS.
Kernel version 2.6.34.7 is running (64bit kernel on a 32bit system,
Debian packages).
There is a multipathing fibrechannel conenction to an external storage,
which partition is also formatted with XFS.
xfs-tools are version 3.0.4.
Host 2 is one of the FC connections.

Does anybody has a hint to this crash?
I could not find any solution in any bugtracker so I am not sure if it
is already fixed.

The system itself is under load (Load-Average is about 20 / 18 / 17).

Are any other informations needed?
