You might do wise in checking the newer acl tools and xfs patches. The work |
| 10 |
is ongoing. |

Is this a 2.4.18-xfs from CVS or the split patches? |

We just released the 2.4.19 split patches although there are some small |
| 14 |
problems cropping up that might prove to be wiser to get CVS (which has a |
| 15 |
fix merged). |

AFAIK that bug got fixed some time ago in 2.4.18 although it is not |
| 29 |
"supported". Another option would be checking out the 2.4.19-aa tree which |
| 30 |
has some VM fixes/tuneups etc. |
