Hi
my RHEL 4 machine (Linux spea44 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1
SMP Wed Jul 12 23:32:02 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux) has the rpm installed for XFS .


xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36 and
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36


those packages have nothing to do with the XFS filesystem :-)

when i try to create a file system using
"mkfs -t xfs /dev/sekarvg/simple1" it says "mkfs.XFS:
No such file or directory" . "lsmod|grep -i xfs " does
not list xfs .



AFAIK the XFS filesystem isn't officially supported by RedHat. You might get them from someplace else like

http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/

But the kernel also need to support xfs.
