I'm not sure what is happening. I haven't looked at it
since November/December when I downloaded the RH 7.3
installer. I noticed the posting at the time. Since I no
longer use RH I haven't followed it. Maybe someone else
picked up the work and made a 8.0 version.
Many other distros offer XFS so I wonder what's keeping
RH. Especially if they want to do servers!

I heartily agree with you.
My question stems from one of the original posts on this
thread
mentioning that they would be starting on the CD version
after the DVD
was finished. Or at least something to that affect.
Funny that hey say 7.3 was the last on yet the ftp site
has RH 8.0 XFS
V4 installer. I am not really concerned with if it is
office just as
long as it works. ;)
Thanks

Well, the post on the site with the 7.3 installer said
this was his last installer for RH. If we wanted XFS on
a
distro then we had to beat on the distro vendor to
provide
support. I can't believe RH doesn't yet have XFS
support!
What is wrong with them?
