XFS itself is platform neutral. But it seems like you have an ARM platform with virtually indexed caches, which currently can't support the I/O XFS does. James has been working on fixing this for a while, but so far the architecture support patches for it unfortunately still haven't made it to mainline despite many people running into this issue. The git tree with the current versions of the patches to fix this is here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jejb/xfs-vipt/.git;a=summary _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
