Hello,

I'm working for the french national education.
We work on a server for students since 3 years.
The solution is based on a Mandrake 9.1 but with a large number of updates.
Our kernel is : 2.4.32 and the xfstools are updated :
- xfsdump-2.2.42
- xfsprogs-2.8.11
- libxfs1-2.8.11
We made a tool  to create students and about 1 time over 10 we have a 
kernel Oops.
With the same data we can reproduce the crash and it always append at 
the same place (the same student).
It was the same 2 years ago with older kernel and xfs releases but we 
hadn't enough student databases to test.  Now, the project is growing 
and the number of crashes in schools too !

The user creation process is composed with :
mkdir, setfacl, chown, setquota for a pam-ldap authentification.

The Oops usually happends on the chown instruction but if we remove it, 
it happends on the setquota instruction which is one line behind.

Cheers,

Joël Cuissinat
