It provides a bootable cd that is identical to booting off the RH 7.3 disc 1 for installation, but provides an XFS kernel, for doing a complete XFS installation. This eliminates the need for adding XFS later, rebuilding the kernel, moving data, etc. The rest of the install is exactly like a RH 7.3 install, but you have an XFS filesystem immediately. It's quite a time saver and after 100+ installs, I swear by it. I'd still be a month out on these machines if I had to do it manually. One note though. Red Hat's up2date of glibc breaks xfsdump which I use religiously for backups. So I update everything but glibc using up2date.
Andrew, do you know of any good documentation on xfsdump? I've been unable to find much that sanely walks a person through using it for backup & recovery.
