Yea, i dunno. I upgraded all the XFS packages to the latest stable releases _after_ this happened :) > problem since there are no networked FS's.

Its a User-mode-linux server with alot of UML OS images (each image varies from 3GB to 15GB each), so its alot of data, and alot of very large files, which is why i'm using XFS (in addition to its great performance & recovery features). There's also an Oracle-9iR2 instance running, which currently has roughly 20GB of datafiles. So, all of that is in /home. I'm hoping that the 1TB array is sufficient for all of the growth that is anticipated. I'm using amanda for backups (so network), although i'm first doing dumps of the oracle DB before backing it up. BTW, i've got another box that is identical in hardware & OS load, but its the production server, so there's only about 60GB being used in /home right now, and i don't expect much growth, as there are caps on the number of simultaneous production UML instances.
