Greg, you might search for a server using xfs filesystems and and a i586 kernel>= 2.6.33, (2.6.32.11 of SLE11-SP1 will serve as well), log in as an ordinary user, do a "du" on /usr, and wait for the other users screaming...

I did precisely that, and didn't notice anything special (du on kernel source tree) kernel 2.6.32.11, deadline scheduler, 7 drives RAID-6 array, 8GB RAM.

I guess, you're not on this specific openSUSE git version of 2.6.32.11 (e.g. the preparation for SP1 of SLE11), which, as usual, carries a lot of stuff from later kernels. The offending patch was included in linux-2.6.33 between -rc4 and -rc5:

Committer Alex Elder<aelder@sgi.com> Author Dave Chinner<david@fromorbit.com> Author date 11.01.10 00:51 Parent xfs: Avoid inodes in reclaim when flushing from inode cache Child xfs: Remove inode iolock held check during allocation Branch master origin (Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/...) Branch 2.6.33.1 (Linux 2.6.33) Follows v2.6.33-rc4 (Linux 2.6.33-rc4) Precedes v2.6.33-rc5 (Linux 2.6.33-rc5)

Cheers, Pete

is this bisectable? from what I remember with 2.6.33 looking at the bugreports I don't recall any issue in regards with firmware related stuff for radeon(but could be wrong). Keep in mind, I don't have your card, but I do have the X1600 which had no issues so far(running the latest HEAD). does changing the .config work for you? (in regards to what the thread I posted had mentioned) as for the open suse SP1 of SLE11..glad there is an option to load the latest kernel. Justin P.
