List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: I had exactly the same problem (as it happens, on similar hardware) - which I thought was an NFS problem - see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107762984200002&r=1&w=2 But it appears to be a 32/64bit statfs, 2.4/2.6 kernel, glibc version and XFS issue - I 'fixed' it by patching the XFS code in the 2.4 kernel - see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107789989600008&r=1&w=2 However, since then, I believe, there have been postings about an NFS patch to fix statfs - see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108004719500003&r=1&w=2 The problem goes away if you fill up the file system ...
