Alot of people have been having serious problems with XFS (I am not off |
| 13 |
them and have been using xfs in debian and gentoo for about one year now |
| 14 |
in some 20 machines). |
| 15 |
I have found somewhere a patches-2.4.19-gentoo-r10.tar.bz2 sized 2665464. |
| 16 |
This patch applied to a clean 2.4.19 clean tree and had XFS and the other |
| 17 |
gentoo patches that we are used.I have found this in a gentoo page |
| 18 |
somewhere but cant remenber where (the EXTRAVERSION is rmap14b). |

I know ALOT of people had problems after power failures with XFS, but i |
| 21 |
have ups in my systems and had no problem. And i was a bit sad when the |
| 22 |
gentoo people decided to remove XFS from gentoo-sources package. |
