Yes, my recommendation is for others to try to reproduce the bug, to see where or if it manifests. Is it just me? Is it just a problem with this kernel version on my particular (4-core) CPU? Is it a 64 vs. 32 bit thing?
If you have any questions about the details I gave for reproducing it from my own system, please let me know.
Obviously if XFS never worked, no one would use it - no one is suggesting that. Unfortunately the truth is far worse, that it works _almost_ all the time, and the shape of that almost is the problem we need to solve.
