The XFS syscalls for IA64 are now data8 sys_attrctl // 1260 data8 sys_acl_get data8 sys_acl_set with corresponding changes to include/asm-ia64/unistd.h. I did some SGI internal patches for XFS+KDB against IA64 a few weeks ago. The problem is that IA64 is stuck on kernel 2.4.5 while XFS development is up to 2.4.7. There were changes to common kernel code between 2.4.5 and 2.4.7 that affected fs handling so we cannot backport the current XFS to the 2.4.5 IA64 kernel. Instead I used a snapshot of XFS as of 2.4.5, which means it is missing some bug fixes. We would really like a current IA64 kernel.
