Hello,

I found it:
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=631

Mailing list thread:
XFS crashed twice, once in 2.6.16.20, next in 2.6.17, reproducable

I read that using xfs_repair 2.7.18  might help. I didnt found this in the ftp 
area thus I compiled xfsprogs 2.8.4 under Knoppix 5 and tried with that. 
Unfortunately it isn't able to fix the defect. It shows the same error 
message as the older xfs_repair in Knoppix 5.

The partition in question is 20 gigs. I can create a backup of it, but only 
with partimage which can compress, as I have no 20gig in one place free on 
that harddisk. Tell me when you are interested.

I like to know how I can fix this in place however - the manual way of fixing 
it which is described in the mailing list thread I mentioned above did not 
work according to what I read there.

If nothing else helps I will replay a backup.

Regards,
