So, three things are needed: 1. kernel support (according to you, it's already there, it's just not the latest/greatest) 2. userland tools (mkfs.xfs....) 3. anaconda hooks #1 is partially solved #2 is _trivial_ to do #3 well, i've heard that some XFS patches are already in anaconda, just not enabled yet, but i didn't verify So it doesn't look like a whole lot of work. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
