Re: Some advisory needed (mysql, xfs, rjfs and hangups)

I tend to doubt it's the journaled FS, in particular.

I say this because I, personally, am running an XFS based system, with 
MySQL running on it...the only filesystem on the box that's not XFS is the 
/boot mount, which is ext2.  Everything else is XFS, and I've not had any 
problems.
