Hi,
What are the minimum system requirements of XFS?
It enlarges the kernel a lot, is it able to run on a 8 mb ram box for example?
(don't think so) Any unrecommended (and recommended) hardware?

I have seen reports of people running it on low memory machines, but I
cannot
remember any particulars. Yes, it does grow the kernel quite a bit, but
you can
turn of some parts of it at least (quotas, acls, dmapi) and definitely
kdb, not
that kdb is really anything to do with xfs, that makes a pretty large
change on
its own.
My simple test of pruning the memory back on a test box did not boot
with 8 Meg,
but it is dual cpu, has all the above turned on in the kernel, runs
networking, scsi
and ide disks etc - probably a little ambitious. 16M came all the way up
though.
In general XFS is not to resource hungry, it generally does not seem to
use lots of
cpu - unless you want to do nothing but crunch inodes. I have seen it on
everything
from old laptops to some pretty high end boxes.
