I don't think you need any patches. Since 2.4.22(?) Kernel XFS is already in the standard plain vanilla=20 kernel. This would be your upgrade path: 1. check, if your kernel is allready XFS-ready ? cat /proc/filesystems Looks like this nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc [...] nodev devpts nodev ramfs xfs nodev usbfs udf ntfs msdos vfat iso9660 nodev rpc_pipefs nodev nfs nodev nfs4 nodev nfsd - Try "modprobe xfs", if it's installed as module... No, xfs is missing: - get the current kernel matching your distribution/Kernel (2.4 or 2.6), get it from www.kernel.org, install it. - make cloneconfig, or make oldconfig after coping your working .config=20 into the source top-path. make menuconfig ; aktivate XFS support within filesystems. Make it as=20 module, if you don't need XFS on the rootfs. Make it permanent if needed=20 as rootfs. [rootfs is my prefered choice, Great !] - if not used as rootfs, ensure, the module is installed - Edit in the Toplevel Makefile the /boot setting for the new kernel, if=20 needed. make depend [for 2.4 series] make all bzlilo modules_install - wheanwhile Check your /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub... to get a new kernel= =20 loadable at boot time ...=20 - get the xfs tools & utilities for your distribution and install them. Boot. Yes, xfs is listed: get the xfs tools & utilities for your distribution and install them. - get a free harddisk (or usb-stick) for testing - partition the new disk - mkfs.xfs /dev/newharddisk-part Be happy !
