Hi, Moritz

Sorry for not reply last mail from Niv Sardi on 08 Aug 2008 in this

Now we're using linux-image-2.6.18-6-amd64 package from etch update.  
Seems this issue still happens sometimes but very rare than before. We  
have 200+ Debian box (etch) and 1000+ XFS filesystems installed, since  
not all nodes' kernel package are up to date, I can say the new etch  
2.6.18 kernel fix this issue.

Yes we're still running etch, and we may not upgrade to lenny soon  
even it's released.

OK, I'll try to upgrade, say, about 100 servers, before the end of  
this year, and see how many times the XFS internal error would happen  
in, say, one month, then report back.

We're running a big Web site in China and I personal am a little busy  
these days, so please give me more time since this bug report is  
already quite old:)
