Hi Arjen -

Yes, there will be another "stable" release of XFS for Linux, but when/what it
will be is the question.  With test resources here spread between projects, and
the wild gyrations of the underlying kernel, it's hard to predict that
particular bit of the future.  :)

Mandrake recently released their 8.1 system, with an xfs-capable 2.4.8 kernel
that underwent heavy testing.  So that might not be a bad place to start if you
want a recent, tested, xfs-capable kernel.
