I've only tried this on RHELAS4 with the kernel shipped with Update 2. I 
have not tried to update the kernel, or install Update 4 or whatever is 
current now. My kernel is 2.6.9-22.ELsmp.

It wouldn't be easy for me to switch to a newer kernel, because it is 
not just a matter of my machine --we have a product built for this 
particular configuration. Switching to a new kernel would reset our QA 
efforts.

If this may be fixed in the XFS modules on the other hand, then it would 
be awesome if we could get it resolved with an updated XFS package for 
RHEL4. I would be more than willing to put in an extra effort and work 
with anyone on this.
