[Fwd: RE: XFS support]

[Florin Andrei <florin@sgi.com>]

Red Hat 7.3 was just released, and people are already getting anxious to
get XFS support in it. I've seen some requests on redhat-devel-list. :-)

And, yeah, from the "self-styled, self-driven XFS Advertising
Department" (just kidding), the following answer was sprinkled upon the
starving masses:

Knut was talking about SGI XFS, the high-performance filesystem used on
video pumps, multimedia servers, etc.:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

Usually, the SGI team provides a slightly modified installer that can be
used instead of the default one to install Red Hat directly on XFS
partitions. You can download the installer from the address above.

Since 7.3 was just released a few days ago, it's going to take a few
days/weeks before the SGI 7.3 installer will be provided. But it looks
like some people are too anxious to get XFS faster! ;-)

There's nothing to be ashamed of in coming up with the obvious,
especially when nobody else is coming up with it.
