Long time no post: SourceForge, RedHat Avenue
Two quick, non-technical issues ...
1. I see there is now an official XFS project page at
SourceForge.NET. I cannot seem to track down the individuals I need
to talk to to shut down my [accidental] "xfs4rh" project page.
2. Has RedHat taken any interest in a beta program or other early
adopter attitude towards XFS? If not, how about VA Linux? Anyone
know of the status of the Ext3 port to kernel 2.4 (and if that is
what either are waiting on)? I submitted some "Request For
Enhancement" Bugzilla tickets at the request of one of their
employees (mainly just package additions that they'll probably favor
for at least the Powertools CD), but I'm wondering if the RFE c/o
Bugzilla route might be a good way to poke them on XFS as well? **
3. Did anyone read Hans Reiser's comments on non-ReiserFS
"jealousy" that it was adopted in kernel 2.4.1 (while others were
not)? I'm sure he's got his reasons (I can think of one my own
posts where he saw such attitudes ;-), but I'm still curious as to
why XFS has not been considered for adoption into the stock kernel
yet myself (or at least considered, please tell me if this is no
longer true)? Maybe that is what RedHat is ultimately waiting on?
Oh well, enough non-developer crap from me (not that I got any
developer crap anyway ;-).

** Disclaimer: I'm not here to incite any "JFS holy war" (God knows
I've had my share of "ReiserFS absolutists" on a couple of local
LUGs lately ;-). I just figured RedHat/VALinux might be "waiting
on" Ext3 for 2.4 as they see it as a "more manageable, evolutionary"
(i.e. "safer" in their eyes, regardless of the merit of the argument
in reality) JFS for the final installment of the RedHat 7 series (or
not)?
