I do that, then when I reboot I still get the:

mount: fs type xfs not supported by kernel

Any ideas what's going on?

P.S.
The command I was using to install was:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus install kernel-module-xfs

Do I need to issue any other commands as well?
The command looks ok.  Did you see it installed?  Do a :

rpm -qa | grep kernel

to confirm you have it.


You just need to pick the kmod-xfs (or kernel-module-xfs) module for
your running kernel.

uname -a will tell you the kernel, install the kernel module that
matches that one exactly.

You do not need the plus kernel for XFS.

I wanted to try XFS with the normal kernel but I get:

[root@turn29 ESRF]# uname -a
Linux turn29.biologie.uni-konstanz.de 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 06:39:17 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So it appears like it _does_ need the plus kernel. Or am I doing anything wrong here?

Thx,

Kay
