Hi Florin

last time ive asked Ingo about this he told me that you can get the last
XFS_RedHat kernel merge and just replace the tux related files with the
new ones. it didnt worked for me for xfs 1.0.2 2.4.9-13 and TUX patch
2.4.16-C9. Ingo also told me to try patch the linus tree with last XFS
linus patch and apply the TUX patch on it. that worked for me (at least at
the time 2.4.16 was latest linus, TUX was 2.4.16-C9)

ive tried/tested the first option, to upgrade the TUX version from
2.4.9-13SGI_XFS_1.0.2custom . i wanted a stable/tested XFS release to base
on. i received some errors on compiling. i had to port some functions
introduced in later kernels but the kernel i got wasnt stable (it didnt
crashed without tux compiled but it crashed in 2 hours of testing with tux
compiled , even that i didnt enabled it)

you could try the second option or wait for the last redhat kernel xfs
merge :)
