filesystem shrinks after using xfs_repair

[Stuart Rowan]

How about:
http://www.sysresccd.org/

This has xfsprogs 3.1.2 and kernels 2.6.32.16 and 2.6.34.1 in version 
1.5.8 of the CD according to the changelog.

Cheers,
Stu.

I can look, but if you know of one, that would probably save some digging.
