SubjectRe: XFS / Quota Bug in 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18x

> The crash only occurs if you use quota and IDE without barrier support.

I don't quite get this. I do use quota, and have barriers turned
off (either explicitly or because the drive does not support it),
but yet no error message like you posted. Do I just have luck?
