Any idea if they stripped just fs/xfs, or all of the xfs support
infrastructure? (which is really not that much anymore).
Having an "xfs-ready" kernel would be a very nice thing, you could then
just load the module into it, even if they rm -rf'd fs/xfs.
Eric & Seth,
I'm really sorry for spreading that FUD earlier, apparently my interdiff
was acting up and not accurately reporting differences (and I didn't
actually look in the patch to verify xfs' removal). So, in actuality,
they have NOT stripped the xfs from the -ac series patch. So, long
story short, it is in there. Unfortunately, the kernel configs still
indicate that they aren't building any kernels (boot or otherwise) with
modular or builtin xfs support :-/. XFS-ready is better than nothing, I
suppose. To reiterate, this seems to be only applicable to their
forthcoming Enterprise (ES/AS) kernels. I have no idea what Arjan is
going to do with the regular kernel, the current rawhide for it is quite
featureless...
Cheers,
Nicholas
P.S. - Eric I can send you the source rpm I have, if you want. They
took it off the mirrors, so you won't be able to get it there.
