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.
