Hi all! First of all, I want to thank you the great job you do to Linux! Linux is a great OS/kernel and XFS is my favorite FS since I tried it. Problems: When will be the XFS patch integrated to main

Well, since the changes are being made to the Linux VM, not to XFS, if I was in your situation I would ask myself if I should be running recent 2.4 kernels in production with any filesystem. I am no

Can I ask which Linux distribution you're running? The reason I ask is that SGI, as you probably well know, has a full Red Hat setup, based currently on RH7.1. It installs wonderfully, and you can th

But supposedly, things get tested before released in an official kernel version. While I haven't had problems with the functionality, but I've run into a number of problems in the patching/compiling

If you stick with select, well-tested kernels, you shouldn't have any issues. I've learned *NOT* to use the latest kernel from experience dating back to 2.0. I'd rather "hold back" and use RedHat/SGI

Won't there be a lot of changes which need to be made for it to go into 2.5 anyway though beyond just current development? Isn't 2.5 supposed to be "radically" different? -- Austin Gonyou Systems Arc

Not really. 2.5 will change over time for certain but if anything the 2.5 changes will make it easier. One problem area with XFS is that it duplicates chunks of what should be generic functionality

Since we have your attention - which chunks? One of the frustrations we have had is the lack of feedback from anyone who has looked at XFS. Just interested. Steve

Locking. There is a _lot_ of duplication between fs/namei.c and fs/xfs/* - you definitely don't need most of the stuff you do with locks there. I understand that some of that stuff may be needed for

Actually not. The quotas in ext3 are transactional as well. It's just that the "ext3" journal layer allows nested transactions, so it is possible to start a write transaction, call into the journal c

OK, good point, but doing a major rewrite of XFS to use a different transaction mechanism is not really on the cards, plus we have on disk compatibility with the Irix version to consider. Steve
