In 2.6.27-rc6, XFS still does not recognise mount options like logbufs and 
others. Because of this, at boot time it fails to mount the partitions rw, 
making the system unusable.

Some time ago, it seems a patch was about to be committed, but apparently 
this has not been done yet:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/14/340

What's the status of this now?

Was 2.6.26 OK?

Yes, with 2.6.26 it mounts fine. According to that earlier message on
the list, this is a regression introduced in either 2.6.27-rc2 or
2.6.27-rc3.

The fix is in:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=62a877e35d5085c65936ed3194d1bbaf84f419e1

if you still see problems please give me the exact mount / remount
commands that cause you problems.

Actuallt sorry - that was the patch causing the problem.  The fix (or
workaround) for it is still stuck in the sgi xfs tree:

http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=xaiki/xfs-linux-2.6-xfs-cvs/.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6c050dbdcd1e3213f941b9201b49efabf4d687e
