Description Shawn Starr 2002-01-20 21:36:24 UTC

XFS may cause filesystem corruption with -mjc patches.

I'm not sure which patch yet but while I was maintaining the XFS merge of XFS into -mjc 
i noticed corruption that was not good.

rm -rf linux-test &
tar -zxvf linux-tarball.gz

some files had other contents and some had tails of others in them.

I masked out this kernel for now.
