Hi all, I just want to post what seems to be the solution for this issue: Apparently, the problem was not with OpenAFS, but with the options I used when creating the filesystem. I used XFS "su" and "sw" options to match the geometry of my hardware RAID. Apparently the default size for the log section of 512 blocks wasn't big enough for my setup. However, there was no obvious warning during filesystem creation, and the filesystem got mounted without errors with Linux kernel 3.8. As part of my debugging activity, I also tried kernel 3.12, which has a new XFS_WARN config option. This produced a warning at mount time that the log section of the filesystem might be too small. Increasing the log section size during filesystem creation to 3200 blocks seems to solve the problem.
