Scientific Linux with XFS support

[Dan Yocum <yocum@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I thought you might be interested that I've incorporated Eric's RHEL kernel 
into the Scientific Linux distrobution.  This is the same kernel found in 
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/testing/release-1.3.3-pre2/kernels/RHEL/RPMS. 
 I took the liberty of merging the xfs bits back into the kernel so there's 
no more xfs-modules rpm package.  Other than that, it's the same kernel as 
Eric's (with devfs compiled in, but disabled at boot time).

Of course, you're asking yourself, "What the heck is Scientific Linux?" 
It's a long story, but suffice it to say it's being supported and developed 
by a bunch of the big high energy physics labs including Fermi and CERN. 
The distro is binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3 plus 
all updates and some extra packages (mozilla v1.6, etc.).

The isos are here:

http://sdsswww.fnal.gov/~yocum/SL302/iso/

To enable xfs support during the install, type 'linux xfs' at the boot 
prompt.  To upgrade with it, type 'linux xfs upgradeany'.

If you have any questions or comments or run into problems, feel free to 
drop me a line.  I'm not on the linux-xfs list any more, so you'll need to 
send it directly to me.

Cheers,
Dan
