If Anthony greps for 'barrier' in the system logs, I'd be interested to know if there's anything about xfs failing to set them up.. They're important for journalled filesystems to operate reliably. (Unless you have battery-backed-up RAID controllers or super-capacitor SSDs)

The word barrier does not appear in any file in /var/log The file system is mounted with options 'defaults,relatime'
Which kernel version are you running? (XFS started enabling barriers by default from 2.6.17) Are you accessing direct drive partitions, or are you going via LVM or the software raid block devices? (Barriers weren't passed-through on those until much later) Toby
