Let us know if it doesn't. I took 1.0.2 patch and applied it against the latest linux_2_4 oss kernel. Actually, it's the latest oss plus additional patches I've sent to Ralf, but I think those are stable. The patch did not apply cleanly but the problems were easy to fix. I didn't port the additional x86 syscalls because they appear to be attribute/acl related only. I cross compiled the kernel with 2.95.3 based tools (I know the older toolchain is recommended but ...). xfsprogs I compiled natively with the same version tools. The kernel boots and I was able to create an XFS file system on one of the partitions. Mounting works. Unmounting consistently results in a crash, illegal access to location 0x00000018. It's probably easy to fix since it's 100% reproducible. Back to mounting the fs -- I ran bonnie++ on it. It ran for quite a while until it got to the "sequential" write test and then the kernel froze. If I get to play with it some more, I'll send you any useful info I might have. Pete
