Hi Tejun, > Have you been able to reproduce the failure? That sounds like an > unlikely failure mode for the patch. Unfortunately (as it would be nice to understand what happened), no. I reapplied the patch on top of rc7 and could not reproduce the unstability after several reboots. I will continue running with the patch and report if anything strange appears again... -- Damien _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
