Thanks Russell
What I have been doing is loading RH6.2 into a 1 gig ext2 partition and than
creating XFS partitions after the new kernel and supporting
programs are all setup. I than do a migration of the relevant partition to the
new xfs partition. I am left with only the root FS on ext2.
That's fine but not optimal. I tried doing a root to XFS migration and Lilo was
not happy at all. Just spit out a continuos stream of 1 and 0.
I have to admit that I have not spent a bunch of time on this part.
Thanks again
Rich
