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

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 :-)
*nod* that's xwindows.
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
It's not officially or unofficially supported. It's completely not
supported and not present. If you really need supported xfs in RHEL
you'll have to ask Red Hat for that, and I wish you luck. :)
http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/
Or http://sandeen.net/rhel4_xfs
that contains a module rpm so you can run xfs in the stock RHEL kernel.
you'll need userspace too, probably simplest to get a recent xfsprogs
src.rpm from FC6 and the rpmbuild --rebuild xfsprogs-<foo>.src.rpm
The above combination should work well for you.

But the kernel also need to support xfs.
