Actually, no. CentOS is a clone of the RHEL code base and shares Red Hat's proprietary kernel. The problem you'll run into in this regard is that most of the XFS developers are Red Hat employees. Thus they are typically not highly motivated to help CentOS users. If your problem turns out to be code related, you're probably out of luck unless you're up to bisecting it yourself, reporting a bug, and a repeatable test case that can be independently reproduced. > Following is yum list output for xfs: > xfsprogs.x86_64 3.1.1-7.el6 installed This is strictly the user space tool package.

If this is the case it would need to be handled by the devs, obviously. See above. > I am more than happy to provide more information if anyone is interested. You haven't provided anything specific. Please follow the instructions below and create a new thread for posting the output, as it will be long. No need to duplicate our conversation thus far. http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_What_information_should_I_include_when_reporting_a_problem.3F -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
