2.4.25 XFS can't create files

[Carsten Gaebler]

Hi there,

I have somewhat of an esoteric problem. I can create an XFS on an 
external fibre channel RAID attached to an LSI fibre channel card 
(Fusion MPT driver) but I can't create files or directories on that 
filesystem (Permission denied). ext2/ext3 work fine on the same 
partition, so I suspect this is an XFS+MPT issue.

Here's what I tried:

sq22:~# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb2
meta-data=/dev/sdb2     isize=256    agcount=140, agsize=1048576 blks
data     =              bsize=4096   blocks=146320896, imaxpct=25
         =              sunit=0      swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming   =version 2     bsize=4096
log      =internal log  bsize=4096   blocks=17861
realtime =none          extsz=65536  blocks=0, rtextents=0
sq22:~# mkdir /mnt/xfs
sq22:~# ls -ld / /mnt/ /mnt/xfs/
drwxr-xr-x   19 root     root         4096 Sep 16  2003 /
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Apr  2 09:26 /mnt/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Apr  2 09:26 /mnt/xfs/
sq22:~# mount -t xfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt/xfs/
sq22:~# mount | grep xfs
/dev/sdb2 on /mnt/xfs type xfs (rw)
sq22:~# ls -ld /mnt/xfs/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            6 Apr  2 09:25 /mnt/xfs/
sq22:~# touch /mnt/xfs/foo
touch: creating `/mnt/xfs/foo': Permission denied
sq22:~#


Here's some system information:
