I've downloaded it, and I don't see a panic on that fs at all.
I've got it sitting in a tight loop mounting and unmounting the
image you sent me, and nothing has gone wrong. I don't think it's
a corrupted filesystem problem - it seems more like a memory corruption
problem to me.

I'm checking memory from time to time with memtest86.


What arch are you running on and what compiler are you using?

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada
--enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
--with-cpu=generic --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

I'll build system with gcc 3.4

Can you try 2.6.18-rc6 and see if it panics like this on your
machine?

2.6.18-rc7 works fine.

there is little difference in xfs between -rc6 and -rc6-mm2
so it would be good to know if this is a problem isolated to
the -mm tree or not....

Cheers,

Dave.
