Or do you have any other > suggestions. AFAIK the best you can do is to get the most recent XFS kernel from SGI's CVS (this one is based on 2.6.10). If you run that kernel, then most of the former problems will be gone; *) I only have one undeletable directory on my system - so it seems that this error is no longer common ;) *) 2.6.10 apparently fixes the knfsd stale handle problem *) I no longer see the weird directory/file/??? mode problems or random ownership assignment So apart from the general well known instability problems that will occur when you actually start *using* the system, there should be no major problems running XFS+SMP+NFS on SGI's 2.6.10 based kernel ;) -- / jakob - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
