Hi,
Just last week Red Hat released a kernel patch which fixes a bunch
of fairly major problems. We need that patch primarily to fix the
IRIX NFS server bug #36897.
( http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36897 )
We have already installed the SGI XFS installer disk on our systems
and do not want to undo any of that by installing Red Hat's patch.
Someone has already released an NFS patched XFS installer disk at
ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/rh71irixnfspatch with a "use at own risk"
warning.
Are you planning to release an update of your installer and patch
RPM's using the new patched kernel anytime soon?
Any idea when the XFS patches will be integrated into the standard
kernel and/or when RedHat will ship it?
We were very happy to find XFS available for Linux. We have a number
of SGI's using XFS and have been very pleased with the filesystem.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Todd
