No problem at startup, > but: What are your mount options? Are you using barriers (what does XFS output in dmesg when mounting the filesystem)? I ask because I've seen this sort of directory corruption before when using volatile write caches and yanking the power.... i.e. the corruption could have been caused by the way you reset the system, not because of the hang. Do you have any information on what caused the hang? Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
