The only time I've had truncated files in XFS is when a windows user connected to a samba share opens a file when near the quota hard limit, and in process of writing goes over the hard limit. I also had problems on 2.4 kernels where the quota metadata would suddenly show the user having several petabytes in use (way over quota), and I'd have to turn off quota accounting and reboot, thus forcing it to rebuild all the quota metadata. But I haven't had that problem in probably 5 years or so.
My biggest problem with XFS is my users keep putting more larger and larger files on it, forcing me to keep buying more disk and expanding the filesystems. ;-Daniel /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
