Hi,

at least i'm now able to reproduce the issue. I hope this will help
to investigate the issue and hopefully you can reproduce it as well.

I'm using vanilla 3.0.4 kernel + xfs as root filesystem and had
detect hanging taks with 120s set. You'll then see that the bonnie++
command get's stuck in xlog_grant_log_space while creating or
deleting files. I was using a SSD or a fast Raid 10 (24x SAS Disks)
- i was not able to reproduce it on normal SATA disks even a 20x
SATA Raid 10 didn't work.

I used bonnie++ (V 1.96) to reproduce it. Mostly in the 1st run the
bug is triggered - sometimes I needed two runs.

bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -n 1024:32768:0:1024:4096 -d /

I hope that helps - as i now have a testing machine and can trigger
the bug pretty fast (10-30min instead of hours). I can also add
debug code if you want or have one.
If it is a log space accounting issue, then the output of 'xfs_info
<mtpt>' is really necessary to set the filesystem up the same way
(e.g. same log size, number of AGs, etc) so that it behaves the same
way on different 
I can't get it. It just works on some part. and not on the other. Even xfs_info shows the same
for them. Also i have one part where it only happens when that one is
root (/). When i mount that one as /mnt it does not happen ;-(

Any idea on how to proceed now?

Stefan
