Hi,

I used XFS on 4.2 for a couple of months in test, but found an issue with the
4k and 8k buffers? (I think that's what they were called) when using them. My
severs would hard crash when putting any legitimate load on them.

From memory (you can check the list archives for my emails related to this),
it turned out that RH compiled only 4k into the kernel, and XFS needed 8k.

I begrungingly removed XFS from the data volume and reformatted to ext3.

Regards,

Michael.
