This is a known bug in Performer 1.2 when running on XFS file
systems.....

  Performer 1.2 works under 6.1, except for a bug in 1.2 that prevents
  the use of an XFS (the replacement for the older EFS) filesystem as
  for Performer shared memory and semaphores. There are a number of
  workarounds:

          1) Use an EFS root filesystem

          2) set PFTMPDIR to an EFS file system

          3) reorder the device types in the kernel configuration
          files and build a new kernel.

          4) wait ;-) for 2.0.

More on #3: place nfs3 as the second entry in sysgen/master.c's vfssw
array.

rgds,
