around that... not exactly? That commit should have been largely a code
move, which is not to say that it can't contain a bug... :)

mythbox? :)

Hm, so it's the external log size that it doesn't much like...

what does /proc/partitions say about md_d0p1 and p2? Is it different
between the older & newer kernel?

What does xfs_info /mount/point say about the filesystem when you mount
it under the older kernel? Or... if you can't mount it,

xfs_db -r -c "sb 0" -c p /dev/md_d0p1
