Thank you for the hint, but the XFS filesystems are on an external
SCSI storage and we tried with two machines (of the same type) and
different memory and processor constellations, so we think a hardware
failure (if it's not a design bug in the servers) is not so likely.

And it works with the 2.4.21-rc1-xfs kernel CVS version from May, so
if it would be a hardware issue, there must be another access pattern
or similar things.
