Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch5 Severity: important
Hello, [I just sent this as an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], however as it involves the kernel in Debian/Etch, I felt it wise to submit here too. Upstream may not be happy with supporting the older kernel version...] I am having (weird) issues with XFS, in that open(...) on certain files takes 45 seconds to return. After the file has been opened, the next file in the same directory takes 45 seconds. If the file was recently opened it returns immediately. I thought this was a low level I/O issue, so copied the files in question to a completely independent RAID array (separate LVM, RAID, controllers, disks), but the problem remains. I raised the issue on the XFS mailing list and was told the problem was the the lease breaking code in VFS[2], and that I should contact this mailing list.
