Yes, it's possibly old, but that's all I could find from the xfs web
page... http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/102_release.html. Thanks for the
pointer to the other location for downloading the patch.

the patch is against current parisc-linux cvs. The changes are needed to
get xfs to compile. The unrelated fixes (lclear_user) is a bug with the
current kernel tree and is being reviewed for inclusion.
EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG is, well, just a debug option.. :)

yes, that is right. there are only three changes needed for hppa for
syscalls and the fcntl constant. defconfig is already updated in the sgi
patch i believe. I hope to check the syscall/fcntl changes into our
parisc-linux cvs RSN so that the patch will work as is... but for now,
for people who want to test xfs on parisc, you need the whole thing...
I'll check out the newer patchset and see if there are any differences.
thanks,
