Subject: kernel panic after upgrading to 2.6

I am running kernel 2.6.18 after trying 2.6.17.6 and 2.6.17.13 with
similar results. I continue to have nfs servers kernel panic on a very
regular basis, every few days. Sometimes I need to do an xfs_repair to
get the filesystem to remount. I got the following kernel panic message
from the syslog this time:

I am guessing this is an xfs bug, but I am not sure. Would anybody please
confirm this form me.
I am running nfs-utils-1.0.9 and xfsprogs 2.8.10.
If there is any more information you need, please let me know.
Please advise.

If you ran 2.6.17 < 2.6.17.7, there was a bug:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#dir2

I would suggest getting xfsprogs v. 2.8.10 or newer, as referenced in
the faq, repair your filesystem, and see if the problem is resolved.
