Sounds like quite a different problem to me.

Right.

I don't understand this error message either.  We haven't tried arla
on a 64-bit Solaris 7 yet, but will hopefully do it in a few days and
then we should be able to fix this problem.

BTW, did you manage to build and/or load the 64-bit version of the xfs
kernel module?
