(Note: Please CC me, as I am NOT on the lkml!!) Some time ago, I discovered some problems with xfs. Unfortunatly, I had no time diving into it. However, some weeks ago some other people running debian on ARM machines confirmed the problem on their machines starting at [1], so I think it is appropitate to at least report it. It has also been seen on 2.6.27-rc4 [2]. summary: the xfs partition corrupts almost immediatly after creation. I had the impression, that the first unlink (rm) causes the corruption, but this might be just an impression. During the tests I made, I conserved a image of the corrupted filesystem which I can make available on request (it's 26 Mbyte, gzipped). Please let me know how I can assist you in finding the problem.

Some Logs (copies from the debian mailing list, so you don't have to follow the whole thread there:) -I did test xfs on my Thecus 2100. I could reproduce the fs-corruption with xfs. The xfs was created freshly on the partition used to be swap. The corruption occured after downloading the ltp from source-forge, untaring it and a attempted make (The make never completed, therefore I did not run the stress-tests of ltp) Some infos: thecus:~/#uname -a Linux thecus.coldtobi.ip 2.6.26-1-iop32x #1 Fri Aug 8 23:42:37 UTC 2008 armv5tel GNU/Linux thecus:~# dpkg -l xfsprogs +++-============================================================== ii xfsprogs 2.9.8-1 Utilities for managing the XFS filesystem hecus:~#xfs_check /dev/md1 2>&1 | tee fsck.log - ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to be replayed.
