Are you building the 2.6.38-rc6 kernel on some other kernel or are

Had you already built the kernel, or did the make command build the
kernel and all the modules before installing them? Can you check
how much space the modules directory is actually using (i.e. using

No, all the known preallocation regressions have been fixed. can you
confirm that the kernel you are running has this commit in it?
b8fc826 xfs: speculative delayed allocation uses rounddown_power_of_2 badly
