Anyway, you need to try this patch: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2008-10/msg00105.html which I posted a few days ago that fixes the latest reproducable case of this shutdown that I know of. If that patch doesn't fix it, what you need to do is get the filesystem into a state where this sequence of commands can be repeated: # mount # cd /some/dir/in/fs/where/error/is/occurring # touch [ filesystem shuts down ] At that point, if you provide me with an xfs_metadump image and the exact commands to reproduce the shutdown, I will be able to find the problem and patch it pretty quickly.
