Re: C compiler...

[Mike Baptiste <mike.baptiste@duke.edu>]

I've had trouble compiling 2.4.18 & XFS with anything less than 3.0.4 
(ie 2.96), so I finally risked the switch.  I've used 3.0.4 (XFS 1.0x) 
and now 3.1 (XFS 1.1) with no troubles on our main servers (RH 7.2 
w/LVM) and on my laptop.  Small set thats probably meaningless, I know, 
but so far, I'm very happy with it.  But as always - YMMV
