Nice. We haven't worked on the Tru64 port for a long time (no machines left
here), good to hear it still works. Please share your experiences after a
little while. We probably won't be able to help out much with any problems,
but there may be others listening.

Well, the xfs kernel module found a cached file name where it didn't expect
one. I'm not sure how bad that is, if things seem to work anyway, maybe
it's ok. The only way to get rid of the message is to remove or comment out
the matching printf() call in the source code and recompile. Something like
the patch below.

Good luck
