Uptime with 2.6.30.9:

  06:18:41 up 2 days, 14:10, 14 users,  load average: 0.41, 0.21, 0.07

No issues yet, so it first started happening in 2.6.(31).(x).

Any further recommendations on how to debug this issue?  BTW: Do you view this
as an XFS bug or MD/VFS layer issue based on the logs/output thus far?

Justin.
