Hi Ted,

I just checked with the last upstream commit d8ec26d7f8287 + patch,
and xfs tests haven't fallen
I even update xfstests, still nothing.

/src/xfstests # git describe
linux-v3.8-336-g3948694

/src/xfstests # ./run_generic.sh
mke2fs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
/dev/sdb1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
FSTYP         -- ext4
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 debian-virtual-2-6-39 3.13.0+
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- /dev/sdc1
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -O bigalloc /dev/sdc1 /xfs-playground/scratch

generic/001 2s ... 2s
Ran: generic/001
Passed all 1 tests

# uname -r
3.13.0+

Maybe I need more recent kernel?
