If you take a look in /var/log/syslog when you try to start xfs you
might find something like:
Jan 6 18:21:05 stefan xfs: xfs startup succeeded
Jan 6 18:21:05 stefan xfs: process-id file /var/run/xfs.pid cannot be
opened
Jan 6 18:21:05 stefan xfs: can't create/lock pid file
Maybe it has something to do with it...
