Yes, yes! We need to be sharing these views with RedHat. SGI makes
one heck of an Anaconda mod. It is right there for the taking by
RedHat.
Someone else informed me that although RedHat includes all the
ReiserFS support in 7.1, it is NOT integrated into Anaconda. So it
looks like RedHat is still not shipping a JFS. Plus the kernels
does NOT have the ReiserFS kNFSd hacks applied.
That means people like us should be lobbying RedHat to include XFS
-- even it if is just a bunch of kernel and support RPMs on the
Rawhide CD. I know RedHat and VALinux are pro-Ext3, but Ext3 is a
"stop gap" JFS IMHO, still not ported to 2.4 yet (2.2-only right
now). Now Ext3 is a solid JFS in full-data journaling (aka "v1"
mode), but not the future of Linux. XFS is much faster than Ext3
and has the history, capabilities and features only Ext3 and
ReiserFS can dream of right now (Side Note: I am not familiar with
IBM's JFS).
If anyone is interested in getting a petition going to get RedHat to
open up to XFS, I'd be interested.
