[Samba] SGI XFS RedHat 7.2 Boot CD

Wed Mar 27 11:51:07 GMT 2002

Thanks for the help Wade.  We are currently running 2.4.17+ea+acl
(bestbits.at mods).  We were wondering if there was anything easier to
setup for less knowledgeable techies that they may hire here in the future.

Thanks for all the help gang.
We'll probably evaluate XFS, but I don't really see any differences between
that and ext3 (if you know of one, please smack me in the face with it).

Thanks again!

If you want to use ACLS you will need the devel packages in order to
compile
samba with acl support. Just a heads up.

I have just added XFS support quite easily.

I have two RAID1 sets. Both were initially ext3. The first was the main
operating system install. The second was empty and was going to store just
the data files.

First I downloaded all the non 'devel' files from
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/latest/cmd_rpms/i386/ and
installed/updated them.

Then I download the Redhat kernel RPM from :-
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/latest/kernel_rpms/i386/contributed-

RH-updates/2.4.9-31-RH7.1-RH7.2/kernel-2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.0.2.i686.rpm

I installed the kernel RPM which did everything including adding the kernel
boot options to grub. All I needed to do was to change the grub config to
load the XFS kernel by default.

Then it was just the case of reformatting the second raid partition as XFS
and changing the fstab file.
