Hello,
I went through oss.sgi.com, but only found how to download the CVS
development tree and build a new kernel, not found a detailed instruction to
patch my kernel with XFS Release 1.3.1. I want a stable release, not the
development tree.
My problem is, After I downloaded the two patches in
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/Release-1.3.1/kernel_patches/
and run "patch -p0 < linux-2.4.21-core-xfs-1.3.1.patch"
and "patch -p0 < linux-xfs-1.3.1.patch"
I got some errors said
Reversed (or previously applied) patched found, Assume -R (n)?
Applied anyway (n)?
After what ever i choose, yes or no, then I do "make mrproper; make
menuconfig", I didn't see any configuration option about XFS in the file
system category.
I believe I did something wrong. But I could find any instructions about how
to apply this patches, anyone can give me a hand?
I am using RedHat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 which kernel is 2.4.21.
Before I did anything with the kernel source, there IS already a xfs.txt
file under Documentation directory. in the /boot/config* file, there is a
line shown as "CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set".
But it doesn't have any XFS source code.
Thanks.
Jeremy
