Re: [gentoo] the new xfs fs support
what's the command? the english user guide give examples for all fs except xfs. Create a linux partition, and format for xfs. take a look at the user guide yourself. :) the step after creating the 3 minimum partitions. No more dangerous than any other command you run as root.

Their online 1.4-rc2 installation guide the 1.4 guide I downloaded printed in October both say to use mkfs.xfs /dev/hdxx.

Why would you need to use dd for this anyway?? I don't know how it is with other fs types, but a partition once formatted as reiserfs may retain some knowledge of its reiserness after formatting as ext2/3, the result being that you can't use a mount command without the type explicitly specified. Granted, this was many months ago, so this behavior may have been fixed along the way. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo 1.4 system ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
