Hi
I'm right now compiling updated RedHat errata kernel-2.4.9-31 with XFS
support which is then kernel-2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.0.2. You'll find the
packages again on oss in the a contrib dir when Eric permits.
Now I have two questions:
1) After downloading the original RedHat RPMS I found out that both 7.1
and 7.2 packages are exactly the same. So I decided to do the same and I
decided to compile on RedHat 7.2 since 7.1 and 7.2 are almost the same
but 7.2 has some newer version of compilers and libs and I thought it's
a good thing to compile on 7.2.
Is it good to compile 7.1 and 7.2 on 7.2 or am I missing something?
2) The jumbo xfs patch linux-2.4.9-RH7.2-xfs.patch.bz2 had two rejects
in fs.h. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer so I'm kindly asking for
advice whether I have correctly fixed the thing. Those two lines are new
in 2.4.9-31
BH_Async, /* 1 if the buffer is under end_buffer_io_async I/O */
#define buffer_async(bh) __buffer_state(bh,Async)
I've put them into the patch and the resulting patch looks like this:

Is this correct? Or do I have to recompile with a different patch?
Thanks in advance.
