Using the same .config, make mrproper, menuconfig, dep, bzImage, modules with kernel 2.4.22-xfs I noticed that if i try to create a directory from anywhere ( like bash/perl/phyton/whatever ) fails with file exists ... althou it created the directory. The old 2.4.20-xfs-r3 doesn't do that. Also tar xf with pipes loads 99% of cpu and can't create directorys.

I have also hit the very same problem. "File exists" errors everywhere, directories exist when they should not be and this breaks all Makefiles, emerges, everything. There is also a severe slowdown when doing an 'emerge sync' for example. When doing xfs_check against a filesystem previously hit by this, it does not show any corruption. I have tested the following kernels: gentoo xfs-sources-2.4.22 affected gentoo xfs-sources-2.4.20-r3 not affected vanilla 2.4.21 + xfs release 1.3.1 not affected sgi xfs-cvs from 2003.11.04 (2.4.22) not affected I hope this helps to narrow it down. <rumi_at_rtfm_dot_hu>
Do you ahve grsecurity enable, and could you forward your .config to livewire@gentoo.org
Created attachment 20431 [details] my kernel config-file
Fixed on xfs-sources-2.4.23-r1
This appears to be an issue with xfs-2.4.24-r1 now.
