Since I have to be someplace 10 minutes ago this will be short.
The first of the test images for the up coming XFS 0.10
release are now available on the ftp site.
ftp://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/PreRelease-0.10-test1
or the old stand by.
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/PreRelease-0.10-test1
The format is basically the same as the 0.9 release, with
a few exceptions.
First xfs commands have been broken down into
separate packages and are now distributed as individual rpms
and individual src tar files.
acl-1.0.1.src.tar.gz
dmapi-0.1.1.src.tar.gz
xfsprogs-1.1.6.src.tar.gz
attr-1.0.1.src.tar.gz
xfsdump-1.0.2.src.tar.gz
Second the kernel patches have been broken down into
two pieces
linux-2.4.2-core-xfs-03192001.patch.gz
(core linux files changed to support XFS)
and
linux-2.4.2-xfs-03192001.patch.gz
(all original xfs files)
kdb-v1.8-2.4.2-fixed.patch.gz
loop-xfs-7C.patch.gz
linux-2.4.2-changeloop.patch.gz
are also provided as they were used to
build the 0.10 rpm's.
In addition to the source portion of the release
the anaconda based installer has been updated to
the latest RedHat wolverine base.
(note installer now requires Wolverine CD's for install)
(notetoo system "Upgrade" is now available)
Available as an iso image or individual files.
Running XFS systems can simple be upgraded by grabbing
the rpms from the installer and installing them manually.
Another spin is forth coming as a few bugs have
been fixed and need to be included but please
test these images and send feedback.
