It has been my experience that xfs is less that solid on c4.i386 but fine on c4.x86_64. This is most likely due to the fact that i386 uses 4k kernel stack while x86_64 uses 8k. /Peter > Twice now in the last few weeks we've seen it > hang with the follow log message repeated many times in the logs at the > time of the hang: ... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
