Howdy,
I am trying to ugprade a RH9.0 2.4.20-9SGI-XFS-1.2.0 installation on a
laptop (done from XFS installer CD) to a new kernel, such as
2.4.22 with XFS-1.3.1
Any advice on what (not) to do would be welcome...
- Is the 2.4.22 kernel-patch considered as stable?
- Will it cause a problem that the current XFS filesystem on the disk is
1.2.0, i.e. does one have to 'migrate'?
- If I happen to use the RH9.0 XFS iso disk for rescue purposes, and have
to boot in and due xfs_repair, won't it be a problem that the iso CD is
xfs-1.2?
- Is there any iso for RH9.0 with XFS1.3 (if this question makes sense at
all)?
To be honest, I am a bit confused at the XFS download section;
in the FAQ
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#stablexfspatches
there are (dead?) links to the latest stable versions:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches
and
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/latest/kernel_patches/
Anyway, I downloaded the following goodies following links from
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download.html:
acl-2.2.15.src.tar.gz
attr-2.4.8.src.tar.gz
dmapi-2.0.8.src.tar.gz
xfsdump-2.2.13.src.tar.gz
xfsprogs-2.5.6.src.tar.gz
xfs-2.4.22-all-i386.bz2
linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
(from
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/SGILinux/)
Let me know if any of these is considered obsolete, or some bugs have
been corrected and new versions are recommended.
Best wishes
Gaspar
