It provides a bootable cd that is identical to booting off the RH 7.3 disc 1 for installation, but provides an XFS kernel, for doing a complete XFS installation. This eliminates the need for adding XFS later, rebuilding the kernel, moving data, etc. The rest of the install is exactly like a RH 7.3 install, but you have an XFS filesystem immediately. It's quite a time saver and after 100+ installs, I swear by it. I'd still be a month out on these machines if I had to do it manually. One note though. Red Hat's up2date of glibc breaks xfsdump which I use religiously for backups. So I update everything but glibc using up2date.On Sat, 19 Oct 2002 09:35:50 -0600 Andrew Mathews[ snips ]Have you tried 7.3 on this machine? They're both 2.4.18 kernels, and 7.3 on XFS is what we're using on production servers now. If you have the bandwidth to grab the iso's, get them at: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/Release-1.1/installer/installer/i386/RH7.3-SGI-XFS-1.1.iso for the XFS installer image, and ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.3-en/iso/i386/valhalla-i386-disc1.iso ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.3-en/iso/i386/valhalla-i386-disc2.iso ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.3-en/iso/i386/valhalla-i386-disc3.iso for the os cd's. Or contact me off list for an alternative method. Isn't this fun? <g> --What does the XFS installer image do? I'm pretty sure I know what to do with the 7.3 ISO, but the separate XFS stuff is a new one for me.
