Hi Folks,
Good question. We have a cluster here working in XFS (scsi HD).
No problem at all and it was choosen due to documentation and SGI "name".
But it's using Red Hat. Does MDK work fine with XFS? Is the
procedure installation of XFS in MDK equal to the one in Red Hat?
Thanks for any attention.
