I have a Red Hat 7.2 system running XFS 1.0.2; kernel version is
kernel-2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.0.2. I'm planning to upgrade to version 7.3 (not
8.0 yet, as I'm not quite prepared for an upgrade to GNOME 2.) What
XFS/kernel versions would you recommend installing? - The obvious
alternatives seem to be XFS 1.1/2.4.18-4-RH (contrib RPMS) and
Release-1.2pre3/2.4.18-17SGI_XFS. Both seem to have some drawbacks; the
former kernel does not contain the latest Red Hat patches (we are using
kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x on other hosts) while the latter is presumable less
stable.
