Gary, As far as I am aware there is no final decision either way with regards to inclusion of kafs in rhel8. There are several components that were not merged into Linux mainline until after the 4.18 kernel on which rhel8.0 is based. These include not only AuriStorFS feature and openafs compat

It looks like Red Hat decided no concerning kafs and RHEL. This makes me sad since they couldn't even be bothered to tell us... [root@localhost ~]# modprobe kafs modprobe: FATAL: Module kafs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Ha
