Hello Bob,

If you upgraded from RedHat 7.0 without XFS to RedHat 7.1 with XFS using
the upgrade path, it probably did not install the RPMS for the xfs
utilities since they wouldn't have been installed originally to be
upgraded. 

In addition, the xfs daemon has nothing to do witht he XFS filesystem,
the daemon is the X font server daemon.

The best thing to do would to installt he xfs RPMS off the SGI CD or
download them from oss.sgi.com and install them.
