The 7.0 systems are ext2-based. I wanted to know if I could install an
XFS kernel and xfsprogs in Red Hat 7.0 and boot up an XFS kernel, but
still in Red Hat 7.0. Then I can do a lot of the prep work "behind the
scenes" while the systems are still running Red Hat 7.0. Then I'll just
have the root fs to contend with during the install.
