Comment 15 for bug 273601

Hello,

I was bitten by this bug too (very strange, the kernel reported the FS as read-write, and touch and rm would work , but chmod gave 'read only filesystem'). Getting rid of XFS flags in /etc/fstab was a workaround for me too.

The people on #xfs freenode helped me out here, and they noted that, apart from this patch, ubuntu intrepid is also missing a very important data corruption fix for XFS.

<hch> and
          http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=co
          mmitdiff;h=73f6aa4d44ab6157badc456ddfa05b31e58de5f0 while you're at
          it
<hch> without the latter one you can get really bad corruption if you rely on
          barriers
<hch> looks like not many people use xfs on ubuntu..

(...)

<hch> but the barrier fix would be extremely useful too
<hch> otherwise we'll get lots of complaints from ubuntu users about data
          corruption

should i log a separate bugreport about this ?

thanks!
greetings,
Frank
