The XFS, what i use is the default on the 2.6.16.18.
Anyway, the 2.6.16.18 is unpatched, i can use it from the original source.
This kernel already know what i need.
I only use this external module:
e1000-7.0.33

The XFS parts:

acl-2.2.34
attr-2.4.28
dmapi-2.2.3
xfsdump-2.2.33
xfsprogs-2.7.11


Sorry, but i cannot understand the mutex and lock, this is bad thing in this
dump? :-)

Anyway, this issue since then i step from i686 to X86_64!
I have upgrade the OS from rh9.0 to FC 5, and i had recompile to 64bit ALL
of the services, what i need to use.
(Kernel, apache, mysql+lib+client,pure-ftpd, nbd-client, xfs, php+libs)

Why doing this?
Because i need to use >2TB nbd-devices, and the nbd-client refused to use
them on 32bit. :-(
After i upgrade to X86_64, i have upgrade my huge device from 8TB to 14TB.
(And on XFS, there is no way to shrink back...)

Another useful info:
If this issue happens, i always use the reset button, or the sysreq-boot
with the serial cable.
During the reboot, the rc script runs the xfs_repair on my 2 general device,
and i can see, both are clean!
This shows, the kernel can flush the buffers using  nbd, and sata (libata)!
The NFS-ROOT can not to be unclean. :-)

Cheers,
Janos
