We checked XFS and found that even when a XFS partition is mounted -o sync, file system operations are still not sync'ed correctly. A simple test case would be something like this: mkdir 0001 reboot -f -n After reboot, directory 0001 is lost. Let me know if you need any more information to reproduce the warning. We are not sure if this is the expected behavior on XFS or not, so your inputs on this are well appreciated. -Junfeng - 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/
