XFS is known to have problems on ARM. We put the following fix into
the 2.6.26-1 kernel:
* [arm] xfs: pack some shortform dir2 structures for the ARM old ABI
architecture (closes: #414932).
But even with this fix there are problems, as reported by Tobias Frost
here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2008/08/msg00155.html
Tobias Frost was going to take the lead to submit a bug report to the
XFS developers. Tobias, what's the status of this?
Magnus, my suggestion is not to use XFS on ARM for now.
