[Samba] SGI XFS RedHat 7.2 Boot CD

[JC Nou]

Hi,

My reason is mainly quota support - it's so integrated you don't have to use
quotacheck or the quota files (quota.user + quota.group). Really nice. BTW -
has anyone managed to get the XFS quota amounts to be displayed in windows
explorer-properties? Didn't fully understand what was written about quotas
in WHATSNEW.txt (as far as how it was related to XFS), shall I assume it is
still in a developmental phase?

Cheers

JC
