You might do wise in checking the newer acl tools and xfs patches. The work is ongoing. Is this a 2.4.18-xfs from CVS or the split patches? We just released the 2.4.19 split patches although there are some small problems cropping up that might prove to be wiser to get CVS (which has a fix merged). > Unfortunally, the preemptive kernel patch conflicts with current version > of XFS, >and may cause data curruption.

AFAIK that bug got fixed some time ago in 2.4.18 although it is not "supported". Another option would be checking out the 2.4.19-aa tree which has some VM fixes/tuneups etc. Cheers -- Seth It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.
