Yes. So far most of the issues are with the internal buffercache and I suspect we could do better sizing decisions there. If you can provide some testing (xfs_repair -n should be enough) I'll happily send you some RFC patches as soon as I get time for it. In the meantime is there any chance you could send the output of xfs_repair -n -vv -m 1 for this filesystem? _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
