Updated xfs-kmod?
 

I notice that there is a more recent 'test' xfs-kmod for CentOS5/RHEL5 at:

<http://sandeen.net/rhel5_xfs/xfs-kmod-0.5-2.2.6.18_88.el5.testing.src.rpm>

It looks like this is based on XFS code from the 2.6.25 kernel

The SRPM has been there for 6 months, so I was wondering how much
testing has been done with the code and CentOS5/RHEL5 ?


Thanks

James Pearson

You probably don't actually want to use that kmod... it is a very rough
backport, and it's not complete and has a few errors, I believe. I
should probably take it down.

If you sit tight for a while, (less than the 6 months or so mentioned
above I hope), I may be able to point to a better tested, updated kmod.


Thanks

James

Do you have any rough estimate when this might be available?

Thanks
