Hi,

Well I just want to count my self in. - I have had quite a few of these
errors,
both on XFS and EXT3. I tried a lot of different 2.6.x kernels without
luck. (See other mails here on LKML from me and Jakob Oestergaard et al.) 

It seems something is very broken in VFS(?) on 2.6 (atleast after 2.6.5,
which was the last kernel I didn't see this on, but had other errors that
forced me away from it).

Sadly it looks to me as if either noone cares (enough) about this, or noone
is capable of fixing it (myself included). :( 

- 2.4.28 fixed it for me. - Just have to live with the poor performance.
