Hi,

Should nptl patches be turned off for RedHat 8.0 as well?

How does one go about building the RH based XFS 1.3 release kernel for RH 7.3? I'm assuming that just a 'rpm --rebuild' of the RH 9 SRPM on a 7.3
system won't work.  Well, it does work in that it creates RPMs that
install and *seem* (in limited testing) to run without a problem. But I'd like to know the official way to do this before I put this server into
production.

Thanks.
