SubjectRe: [linux-lvm] 2.6.22-rc4 XFS fails after hibernate/resume
OK, just an quick ack

When I resumed tonight (having done a freeze/thaw over the suspend) some libata
errors threw up during the resume and there was an eventual hard hang. Maybe I
spoke to soon?

I'm going to have to do some more testing...

That's the kind of thing I was suspecting, yes.

OK, I can try this tonight...
