Installing the XFS Development Tree

You can obtain the complete linux-2.4.x development tree including the XFS filesystem, or you can obtain an XFS patch onto an existing linux-2.4.x tree.

After you have obtained the XFS development tree or patch files, you will need to configure the kernel. For information on configuring and installing the kernel, see Configuring and Installing the XFS Linux Kernel .

Downloading the complete Linux tree including XFS

A complete linux 2.4.2 tree including the XFS filesystem is be available for CVS checkout and for CVSup checkout. For instructions on checking the tree out of CVS, see the CVS download instructions. For instructions on checking the tree out of CVSup, see the CVSup download instructions.

Creating an XFS tree via a patchfile

To create an XFS development tree with a patchfile, you start with a "vanilla" linux-2.4.x tarball (linux-2.4.x.tar.gz, or linux-2.4.x.tar.bz2) and apply patches to obtain an XFS-capable kernel. The most recent development patches available for download are provided here.

For general instructions for downloading patches, see Installing from the Source.
