Yes, they offer access to CVS. Nothing wrong with that. They also make available kernel RPM packages for Red Hat Linux, and offer an ISO which you can use to install Red Hat Linux on XFS filesystems. >From the FAQ: Q: How stable is XFS? It is stable and being used in production systems on a large range of hardware. From small systems to big multiprocessing systems with gigabytes of ram.. While Red Hat might not support XFS yet, I would disagree with the statement that "it's not ready for the average file server today" > explanations as to why there is no support in a standard kernel, It touches a lot of the kernel and wasn't 1.0 early enough to make it into 2.3. Linus has declared XFS 2.5 material. That doesn't mean that it's not stable, just that they don't want large portions of the kernel in the stable tree. > no RHL 7.2 installer (it's in the works) Yes there is. ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.0.2/installer/i386/ > , limited support in backup tools, etc. xfsdump exists, and is the standard tool for backing up XFS partitions in IRIX as well.
