Pardon me if the question seems elementary.   Has the XFS code been integrated
into the 2.4.2
kernel?   If so where may I obtain a patch or a copy of the patched sources?
So far I have experienced
alot of istability with the 2.4.0 kernel and I am anxious to move on the
something more stable.


Thanks....
