- Hi. I'm trying to make an XFS-only system. The kernel mounts XFS filesystems fine, but I'm having problems migrating from an ext2 initrd image to XFS. I've tried 4, 8, and 32 megabyte initrd sizes; a

- well do you really need to use initrd? hmm, sounds like a task for the new xfsprogs 2.5.0 mkfs.xfs which has a -s switch to set the sector size to something other then 512 (i think its -s anyway), th

- Hi again. Thanks for the speedy feedback! Unfortunately, initrd is an integral part of the system for other reasons. Personally, I'm looking forward to the new initramfs stuff in 2.5. Thanks for the

- Ethan is on the right track, it sounds like your root device is a funky 1024-byte sector beast. In general, XFS cannot do this, although as Ethan said, Nathan does have new code in CVS that I think i

- That's a good point. The argument for XFS is that the kernel already has XFS (it later mounts standard hard drives); so why bloat the kernel with another filesystem? (Okay, cramfs isn't that much blo
