I'd just like to add, for the record, that while I really do love XFS,
because of things like the above statement from Steve Lord, I really can't
use it on my production machines until it is tied into the regular kernel
It might be a bit extreme since you might need to patch your kernel to make
some hardware work.
Intergrating XFS in the mainstream kernel won't make the patching process
any easier. XFS interacts with the VM and will thus always require work.
2.5 would make it easier since it looks like it will be a lot friendlier
for intergrating XFS into it.
In the mean time I am happily running XFS on my production servers with
good results and have had no (knock on wood) XFS related problems in the
past half year.
tree. I imagine that you're already doing everything that you can to get
it integrated, I'm not griping, just giving (hopefully) constructive
feedback.
They are working it. It needs time. Rome was not built in a day. We are
stil working on the little shack in the back :-)
