Yes, i've been looking at that.

# service xfs status
xfs dead but pid file exists
#

arooah?  The above cmd was after a service stop/start command.  The service is reported as having strted ok by the 'service xfs start p' cmd.

So either something is stuck in /proc (is that extremely unlikely normally?) or the xfs is dying on start.

plz excuse the brevity and terseness, typing on zaurus is less than enjoyable.
