Hi there,

have someone in this list experiance in running the xfs on Linux on s/390. 
I've Patched a 2.4.5 Kernel, with the patches from IBM and XFS. The Kernel 
and the modules was compiled fine.

If i format a dasd-Device with xfs it seems to work, but if i mount the 
file-system, the kernel dies and i have "IPL" the system :(

I've read somewhere in the archives of this list, that xfs could only run 
with LVM on s390, is this right?

If i understand it right, it didn't work, becouse the xfs uses 512 block's 
for some reasons to save and the dasd can handle this right, becouse my 
blocking for DASD is bigger (4096).

My Questions: Is there a development to solve this bug. What had to solve 
DASD or XFS? Or have i missunderstood something? Is there somewhere 
documentation for XFS on Linux/390?

Thank you, for u help
