I had another issue earlier on the same filesystem and Christoph told me[0] that I may have run out of inode attributes. xfs_info reports isize=256 for this filesystem and now that I'm using xattr even more (I'm storing sha256 checksum plus the filename in each file's xattr) this looks like it might exceed the literal area after all. > Anyway...

Cool tests! ;) Yeah, next time I'll have to take this into consideration, but the fs was created long ago and I didn't plan to use xattr. Now I do but mkfs is not an option right now. Thanks for the insight, Christian.
