I'm running Samba on XFS+EVMS (on Debian ;) with no problems.  Even on
buggy versions of XFS, I've never seen this error; I don't think the
filesystem is the cause.  OTOH, I haven't used 2.4.20 yet for this
environment.

When you say you compiled with large file support, does that mean you
made changes to the build scripts?  Samba should already build with LFS
support on Linux 2.4.
