Distros do it with a fair bit of effort and testing; non-fs-ninjas usually do not. :) So yes, it's technically possible, but it's not a drop-in replacement. (if you're talking about the userspace xfsprogs code, that's another matter; newer xfsprogs & xfsdump should work fine with older kernels, just build it and go) -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
