[Samba] SGI XFS RedHat 7.2 Boot CD

[Gareth Blades]

There were two reasons why I chose XFS over a patched ext3.

The first and minor reason was that I considered that a dedicated ACL file
system developed by SGI is more likly to be more stable.

The second and most significant was that there is a xfs version of dump
(xfsdump) available which is far superior to an ACL enhanced version of tar
which is all I could find for the patched ext3 version.
