So far as I know, MDK has never had XFS support. I have always had to patch the kernel with the official XFS patch from the SGI website and rebuild the kernel.
I also found that the official XFS patch from SGI doesn't patch easily with the kernel source shipped with MDK. I have to grab an official kernel source from kernel.org I have been using the 2.4.19 kernel. I read in LinuxJournal recently that the coming of the 2.6 kernel will finally include XFS support. I guess the XFS Linux developers at SGI were historically making dramatic changes to the code and Linus didn't like that. It has supposedly become more stable now which is why it will be included in 2.6. ~~Brad On Thursday 13 February 2003 09:19 am, you wrote: > I was wondering which version of XFS support i should use.
