Can you post the output of 'xfs_info <mntpt>', your mount options, and spell out the details of your storage stack (assume I know know nothing about it). Also, what version of xfsprogs are you using? If it's not recent then there's the possibility that a more recent version could find something wrong with the fs. > Hardlink count per inode: mean 51, mode 116, median 33, max 595, min 1. > > [ 5674.213688] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000c > [ 5674.214095] IP: [<ffffffff812391fc>] xfs_perag_put+0x14/0x6d > [ 5674.214305] PGD 229e7b000 > [ 5674.214506] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP > [ 5674.214708] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:0d:00.0/net/eth0/broadcast > [ 5674.215108] CPU 0 > [ 5674.215113] Modules linked in: xt_comment sch_htb nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_state iptable_filter ipt_addrtype xt_dscp xt_string xt_owner xt_multiport xt_iprange xt_hashlimit xt_conntrack xt_DSCP xt_NFQUEUE xt_mark xt_connmark nf_conntrack ip_tables ipv6 evdev tpm_tis i2c_i801 container tpm iTCO_wdt sg i2c_core tpm_bios processor thermal iTCO_vendor_support thermal_sys ghes hed i3200_edac hwmon button edac_core > [ 5674.216585] > [ 5674.216782] Pid: 26699, comm: rsync Not tainted 2.6.36-hardened-r4-infra17 #3 X7SBi/X7SBi Ok, so you're running some weird patchset.

That's the only way you could get to xfs_perag_put() with a null parameter. Otherwise it would crash inside the loop dereferencing pag->pagf_init.... I think the first step is to to reproduce this on an unpatched mainline kernel, and we can go from there.
