XFS Panic with v0.25 on linux

i'm trying to setup arla on our linux (v2.2.9 SMP) server to start arlad
and mount AFS automatically during boot.

here are the arla related lines from conf.modules and fstab:

	/etc/conf.modules
		alias char-major-103 xfs

	/etc/fstab
		arla	/afs	xfs	nosuid,noauto	0 0

the startup script is attached to this mail and it's run as a regular SYSV
style init script on run levels 3, 4 and 5 (priority 16, just after
mounting NFS filesystems).

when i try to list the afs-dir content after boot, i get the following
panic message:

[aspa at pcephc29 ~]$ ls /afs

Message from syslogd at pcephc29 at Tue Jun  1 17:10:10 1999 ...
pcephc29 kernel: XFS Panic: xfs_message_installdata failed to \
	lookup cache file = @00E5, errno: -22


however, after doing a 'arlad stop' and 'arlad start' the afs-directory's
contents can be listed and there's no XFS panic.

any suggestions?


best regards,
