Gentlemen and Ladies,
I bid you farewell for now. Partly due to the current Linus vs XFS
situation, the lack of any other viable journaling FS for Linux, and partly
due to outside factors, I am converting to the camp of the Daemon.
Lucky bastard ;-)
Thanks for everything, especially all the good kernel bits I've been
running. I'll attempt to still fulfill my goal of producing daily XFS RPMS
and put them on Andy Kwong's site, once the new system has settled down.
It might just happen that in a few months time redhat-7.2 gets out and
there might just be a XFS supporting installer as well. But those are 2
"mights" already. I have production systems with XFS that are up to level
with what I want so I am satisfied.
Mandrake 8.1 is first "large" distribution that made it out with XFS as an
installer option.
SuSE has all the userland packages but lacks a kernel the installer knows
more then one fs already.
RedHat lacks both userland (although maintained by SGI) and the kernel
(done by SGI) as well as a installer (Again done by SGI).
A special thanks to Eric, Steve, Russell, Seth, and Keith: you guys are
fantastic.
*touched*
Good luck in your new project.
