Given that before ~2.6.35 LVM/device mapper was not able to pass through cache flush requests that is your most likely culprit. A repair will rebuild the freespace btrees, and make sure to keep the write caches down the whole stack disabled. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
