Re: No kdb in 2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.1_PR2 ?

Hi Simon -

the kdb patch is shipped in the SRPM, but it's not applied by default.  We
decided that xfs should be mature enough that we don't have to ship it
with the debugger enabled.  Hopefully that's true.  :)

So if you're at all RPM-savvy, you can enable it in the spec file and
rebuild your RPM, and you should be good to go.  If you need some help let
me know.
