No. The xfsaild is currently operating with watchdog functionality
to catch AIL push stalls due to a know problem that this new patch:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2008-10/msg00119.html
fixes.
After this has been included for a while (say a release), I
plan to remove the watchdog feature of the xfsaild so the
once-per-second-per-XFS-filesystem wakeup will go away then.
Cheers,
Dave.
