Okay well I did it and installed xfs on my debian box. I now have the
interesting issue that mounting a loop devices doesn't seem to work
here's what I did:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/win98/block.dat bs=512 count=2500000
mkfs -t xfs /win98/block.dat
mount -o loop -t xfs /win98/block.dat test/
The mount then hangs.... forever it seems. I'm using the "beta" cvs tree
stuff. I'm a bit wary of installing the "fast moving" tree but if it
fixes that problem I guess I will have to. I did not enable all the
debuging options, mostly cause I didn't know how to deal w/ them.
TIA,
timball
