I'm running Samba on XFS+EVMS (on Debian ;) with no problems. Even on buggy versions of XFS, I've never seen this error; I don't think the filesystem is the cause. OTOH, I haven't used 2.4.20 yet for this environment. When you say you compiled with large file support, does that mean you made changes to the build scripts? Samba should already build with LFS support on Linux 2.4. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
