XFS problem 2.5.6{0,1,2}

XFS problem 2.5.6{0,1,2}

[Kostadin Karaivanov]

Oftenly I get errors something like ...
"In memory data corruption ..... shuting down filesystem ide(0,3)" and
linux halts. Reboot fixes the things.
Sorry can't paste the proper error output.
It happens when I try to erase a lots of small files or on shutdown.
I can't reproduce this, but it happens for at least once a day.
My whole linux partition is on XFS.
As long as I can tell this is not present in 2.5.5{7,8,9}

Do you use blocksize smaller than your pagesize?

No, nothing fancy, the partition is formated with default settings of
mkfs.xfs (as slackware did) bsize=4096 according to xfs_info.
BTW, the errors on reboot I get on my laptop right after (trying
to)shtutting down the PCMCIA card as result my /var/run is lost
Manual xfs_repair fixes that.
