Up to [Development] / xfs-cmds / xfsmisc

Patch (against Alan Cox's tree, with 32-bit UID VFS quota) that integrates
XFS quota with the new quota interfaces.  Experimental, now being reworked
with the 32-bit UID VFS quota being reworked also (to allow both old and
new VFS formats to co-exist), but it might still be useful to folks merging
XFS with the current 32bit UID quota (ac) patches.

Miscellaneous utilities for XFS
-------------------------------

mkinitrd.xfs
	Russell's modified version of mkinitrd.  Notes from rlog:

	Modified mkinitrd: make it large enough to fit xfs and pagebuf (15meg)
	Use static version of bash rather than sash; sash doesn't seem to work.
	(bash.static not supplied must build your own).
	Note default ram disk size in the kernel is 4096k
	add append="ramdisk_size=15000" to lilo.conf

xfs_stats.pl
	Perl script to massage the /proc/fs/xfs/stat file into a readable
	format.  Use "perldoc xfs_stats.pl" to see the man page.  We dont
	install this script in xfsprogs, for example, as we don't want to
	introduce a prereq on perl just for this little script.

kiobuf_io.patch
	Patch (against the xfs tree at 2.4.3) to re-introduce the
	kiobuf based I/O patch. This code was removed due to change
	in direction in the community direction for the block I/O
	layer.

2.4.18-pre3-ac2-quotactl.patch
	Patch (against Alan Cox's tree, with 32-bit UID VFS quota) that
	integrates XFS quota with the new quota interfaces.  Experimental,
	now being reworked with the 32-bit UID VFS quota being reworked
	also (to allow both old and new VFS formats to co-exist), but it
	might still be useful to folks merging XFS with the current 32bit
	UID (ac) patches.  Reference:

inode_size.pl
	Perl script which predicts the size of an inode number in
	bits for an XFS filesystem.  Written by Bill Ryder; refer to
	Steve's mail for some context, at:
	http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0107/msg00727.html

reserved.patch
	Patch (against the 2.5.0 tree) marking syscall numbers for the
	current version of the extended attributes interface reserved.

xattr.patch
	Patch (against the 2.5.0 tree) providing the VFS interface for
	the proposed implementation of extended attributes in Linux.
