Hello!

I'm using XFS. dmesg -s32000 does not help - no more output. In messages there is also no relevant output. Other than what I've posted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/76

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/86

Some kind of borkage in readdir, probably either in xfs or vfs?

Sorry but i cannot recompile the kernel on all machines again - another downtime is not possible at the moment.

Hello!

I've done the (echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger) now but i'm not able to get
the whole output via dmesg.

Here is what i get:
# dmesg
3.432124] [<c0165a11>] do_select+0x390/0x46e
[272363.432226] [<c0166107>] __pollwait+0x0/0xcf
[272363.432319] [<c0115d90>] default_wake_function+0x0/0x8

dmesg ring buffer is too small to fit this in. Please repeat it once again
with bigger ringbuffer (dmesg -s if you have this chosen in your kernel) or
post /var/log/meassages output of all processes. I see only waiters in
readdir, not seeing who could block them.

Which filesystem did you run du on?
