In 2.6.27-rc6, XFS still does not recognise mount options like logbufs and others. Because of this, at boot time it fails to mount the partitions rw, making the system unusable.

Some time ago, it seems a patch was about to be committed, but apparently this has not been done yet:

What's the status of this now?

Was 2.6.26 OK?

Yes, with 2.6.26 it mounts fine. According to that earlier message on the list, this is a regression introduced in either 2.6.27-rc2 or 2.6.27-rc3.

if you still see problems please give me the exact mount / remount commands that cause you problems.

Actuallt sorry - that was the patch causing the problem. The fix (or workaround) for it is still stuck in the sgi xfs tree:
