I'm getting ready to upgrade a bunch of Red Hat 7.0 systems and I
wondered:  Has anyone got XFS kernel and xfsprogs to work on Red Hat
7.0?  If it isn't too much of a pain, I might try to "convert" all of
the filesystems before the upgrade rather than having to back everything
up.

I suppose I could just copy "/" then make a new XFS during the install,
but then I have to port in any non-RPM software and settings from the
old root files.  Then I could "convert" the rest of the filesystems
after the upgrade.  Or maybe I could hack the install CD to have the
tools executable off the CD, make a clean XFS, then copy the root back
to the new fs.

Thinking out loud,
