Just for you I grabbed the latest vanilla kernel:
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2>
Then the latest patch against 2.4.9:
<ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches/linux-2.4.9-xfs-2001-08-26.patch.bz2>
Note that this patch is only 840284 bytes large. Not so bad, eh?
Then I extract the vanilla kernel using:
$ bzcat linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2 | tar xv
This puts it in ./linux/. Then I go a-patching:
$ bzcat linux-2.4.9-xfs-2001-08-26.patch.bz2 | patch -p0
And voila! No errors. And yes, ./linux/ is now 2.4.9-xfs. :)
SGI correctly did not include the userland tools with the kernel patch.
They used to, but don't anymore. This is correct because you want the
kernel, not the userland tools. The userland tools you can get as
tarballs, RPMs, or debs. For the debs just do an "apt-get install
xfsprogs" as the stuff are in the unstable tree. The RPMs and tarballs are
downloadable via:
<ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_rpms/>
<ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_tars/>
Now, what could be so wrong about the XFS website, patches, and userland
tools, then? What's more, you get ACLs. :)
