XFS: Source Code

• Mainline kernels
  XFS has been maintained in the official Linux kernel kernel trees starting with Linux 2.4 and is frequently updated with the latest stable fixes and features from the SGI XFS development team.
• Vendor kernels
  All modern Linux distributions include support for XFS. SGI actively works with SUSE to provide a supported version of XFS in that distribution.
• XFS userspace
  Sgi also provides source code taballs of the xfs userspace tools. These tarballs form the basis of the xfsprogs packages found in Linux distributions.
• CVS web
  Browse the XFS source trees.
  • 2.6.x-xfs
  • xfs-cmds
• CVS trees
  Direct CVS access to the most recent XFS changes. See below.

Using CVS trees

CVS for new users contains links to general CVS documentation.

Set the CVSROOT environment variable.

$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs' (for sh, bash, ksh, or similar shells) $ setenv CVSROOT  :pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs (for csh or tcsh shells)

Login to the CVS server (this only needs to be done ONCE, not every time you access CVS).

$ cvs login (the password is "cvs")

Now grab the XFS source tree(s) of interest: 

$ cvs checkout linux-2.6-xfs $ cvs checkout xfs-cmds

Subsequently, you can checkout new code using: 

$ cvs update -d
