Linux 2.4.4 + xfs

["linux" <dahouet@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,


i had a kernel 2.4.3 and i tried to compile it with xfs support in kernel
and it failed ! i had gcc 2.95 , i installed kgcc with egcs 1.1.2
and failed again. i didn't want to downgrade my kernel
so i downloaded kernel 2.4.4.
i applied the linux-2.4.4-xfs-TEST.patch (the  
linux-2.4.4-xfs-cvs-05022001.patch.gz
didn't work for me).
and i managed to compile it with gcc 2.95 !
so i have now a little partition with xfs : good

but 

1.how stable is xfs with kernel 2.4.4 ?
2.is it sue to make the root filesystem xfs ?

thanks
