Yes, it's not a completely current kernel.  This box is running CentOS 5
with some yum updates.

try

# rpm -qa | grep xfs

If you see anything with "kmod" you're running an exceptionally old xfs codebase.

2.6.18-138 and beyond should have a newer xfs backport built into the kernel
rpm itself, as shipped from Red Hat.  But the ancient xfs-kmod (or similar)
provided xfs.ko will take precedence even if you update that kernel.

... unless you uninstall the xfs-kmod package.

(i'm not sure how to set precedence of found kernel modules, I guess)

If at all possible I'd try an updated kernel, especially if your xfs.ko
is provided by the very, very, very old centos xfs-kmod rpm.
