I've got it forward-ported to the latest errata kernel as well, I'll
update that on the ftp site soon (BTW:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/testing/RHEL for those just joining
us...)
I'll have to sort out which of the xfsqa failures are unique to RHEL,
and which are having trouble in general.
Also a note, please read the README in the above dir for details on
what's different in this kernel - of note, devfs is turned on, and this
version of xfs is a bit different from what's currently in cvs, that may
change in the future but this is the result of an internal build, tossed
out onto ftp for the impatient... :)
Thanks,
-Eric
