After some bisection pain (sg broken in the middle and XFS not compiling in other places) the regression seems to be: commit 051e7cd44ab8f0f7c2958371485b4a1ff64a8d1b Author: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue Aug 28 13:58:24 2007 +1000 [XFS] use filldir internally There have been a lot of changes since this so reverting it and retesting as-is won't work. I'll have to see what I can come up with after some sleep. I'm not building/testing with dmapi --- perhaps that makes a difference here? I would think it would have broken with xfsqa but the number of bug reports seems small so far.
