There are even more changes in the XFS development tree to work around problems in the 2.96 compilers. The horrible Makefile hack to force gcc-2.91.66 in the 1.0 release has since been removed. And there have been reports that the 3.0 snapshots do a good job on the XFS kernel code too. cheers. -- Nathan
SGI's xfs
Hi, Are there any plans in supporting the usage of SGI's xfs filesystem in debian? Are there kernel patches available and/or userspace tools being packaged? Since yesterday xfs 1.0 for linux is out and under gpl see http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/010501/sftu043.html Thanks, Matthias -- +-created at Wed May 2 11:06:17 CEST 2001-+ |Matthias Berse Phone:+49-2323-42397 | \Bachstr.28 44625 Herne, GermanyeMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ No spitting on the Bus!

In addition to Ed's kernel debs and the XFS userspace - ie. xfsprogs, xfsdump, attr packages - you'll also want a recent mount package (supports mount by-UUID and mount-by-label for XFS, documents the XFS mount options, no need to use -t xfs with mount, etc); and also the latest quota package which supports XFS's notion of journaled quota - which Michael has just uploaded to unstable in the last few days. Hope this helps. cheers. -- Nathan

Yes, in fact I don't expect to put that version of the ACL userspace into unstable ever ... that would likely cause versioning headaches general confusion (moreso) down the track. wrt ACLs, current status is that XFS and the ext2 ACL patch have different system call interfaces which make it a one-or-the-other-but-not-both situation. There are people working on a fix for this, and it looks like Dominik Kubla has begun working on packaging up the ACL code that will actually go into Debian at some point.
