Hi

Correct.

I was told by 'mount' that its a superblock-problem :-)

server044:~# mount -a
mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock

What does the bad client-id in syslog indicate?

 It does tend to indicate that 2.6.37 wrote bad data to the

Yes. A server which was rebooted on Oct 3rd 07:18am, running 2.6.37 with
a stacktrace involving xfs_qm_dqreclaim_one came back up fine a couple
minutes later on 2.6.37.

If this would have not been working, we would have had way more trouble
with crashed xfs-partitions in the the past since the
xfs_qm_dqreclaim_one-stacktrace has been a very common error for us.

Yes. All 6 servers failed to mount the xfs-partition after they had
xfs-troubles on 2.6.37 and came back up on new 3.6 kernel. I did not try
to reboot them into 2.6.37 though.

Correct. A quota-check was performed on all servers which ended in the
shown stack-trace also on all servers (see pastebin). After a reboot the
partition mounted just fine.

> What mount options are you using on the 2.6.37 kernel?
2.6.37 and 3.6 use the same options:

noatime,nosuid,nodev,gquota

Will do.
