It was my opinion too, that ext3 is the 2nd choice, before I started the thread, but I would like to hear the opinion of others. > XFS is in the -ac patches nowdays and also in 2.5.

It doesn't matter which patch I use first. Unfortunately I didn't find a XFS-patch for 2.4.21 too. So the only way for *me* to build a XFS-kernel is to patch-2.4.21-rc7-ac1.gz and this results in problems with grsecurity. One reason why I want grsecurity is the kernel-option CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_RANDID. Since I am not a coder, the only way for *me* seems to be to change from XFS to a filesystem which is included in the original vanilla-kernel.
