Eric,
I'll search through the ftp site. I just needed the pointer. Thanks.
As per your message, it looks like I'll have to beg the kernel builders
to add xfs support though, so I might as well just have them build the stuff
into the kernel anyway. If they do that, then no modules would be needed I
guess. (I'm not a programmer or a Linux guy really. Just a user who's
managed to get vfat, ext2, ext3 and reiser working...)
Thanks,
Mark

xfs can be built as a module, but that module depends on things not in
the standard 2.4 kernel. So you'll need to build an xfs-capable kernel
in any case.

Did you look on ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download for rpms? There
are kernel rpms there for every official release.
