A project is going to be started and I wanted to get some feedback before we start. The project will entail 2 - Quad Proc boxes with RAIDS attached and doing number-crunching only and light I/O. Are there any issues with Quad Procs? I saw your Docs and you say you have gone to 512 cpu with no problems. IS SGI going to keep making ISO images to create XFS on root during install and are they going make new ones when RedHat releases new kernels and releases? You wweb site mentioned June that you may get XFS included in the source tree. How close are you to getting that done or do you have a guess when it will be included as dist from RedHat? Anyway great job and keep up the great work. I hope to hear from you.
