Hi Eric,

I wasn't aware that stock kernel comes with xfs module. From my testing
looks like stock kernel module is still preferred over kmod-xfs:

# modinfo xfs
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18-308.el5/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
license:        GPL

Most likely due to historical reasons we still install kmod-xfs on our 
systems.
To be sure I have removed kmod-xfs, unmounted filesystem and removed
kernel module and them mounted filesystem again. Still seeing the very same
behaviour.

No, we don't use any special mount options here.

I guess next step would be to use inode64..
