Thanks for the report.  This is one we've been struggling with for a little
while.

Mark has a patch in this thread that seems to work ok:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-08/msg00463.html

And Dave is also working toward a fix in this thread:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-08/threads.html#00493

I think that this will be resolved soon.  For now there are a few options that
seem to work around the problem, as described in the first thread.

Regards,
	Ben
