Nate it's there. You can even chose it when you install 8.0. If I remember correctly Since SGI has actually already done that work and provides patches against a vanilla kernel (and apparently against the RH kernel as well), I don't think it would be too much work for RH (especially given

The problem is that RH would then have to do all the work to incorporate the XFS patches into the source code, etc. Better to let the kernel team actually get that going, and then add it. On 22 Jan 2003, Cliff Wells wrote: On Tue, 2003-01-21 at 18:40, Mike Burger wrote: On 21 Jan 2003,

Hi! As I'm thinking about switching to RedHat, I'd also like to know, if RedHat supports XFS (the filesystem)? I don't think they do. However, SGI supply kernels based on the Red Hat sources. See http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ BTW, from what I hear, the 1.2 Pre-release is really quite stable
