I'm wondering if XFS is getting an old inode that ext3 was using, but either ext3 or XFS is not clearing it, so that is why it is calling into ext3. Also, are you using ext3 on other filesystems in this computer? Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2resize/ http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/
