Haven't tried XFs yet (XFS boot filesystem + GRUB are at the top of my
'todo' list') but have tried ext3.=20

Same sort of messages as you got. Some strange things happening, but I
have no evidence (yet) they are due to ext3. Similar sort of problem with t=
he
patches.=20

How did you apply RSBAC rules to the XFS filesystem code (fs/ext2/namei.c)
? With ext3 its fairly easy as the module is almost a straight clone of ext=
2.=20

init/main.c needed more complex hand patching due to the kdb code being in
the ext3 patch. Will be removed once ext3 goes final I expect.
