Over a year ago, Redhat promised me that with RedHat 4 (more specifically
starting with the 2.6 kernels), XFS would be a standard part of their
distribution and fully supported. When that didn't happen and they actually
deleted what support was already there, I asked them what happened. Their
excuse was they didn't have enough people to support XFS. What extra support
is needed? They seemed to have worked much harder and caused themselves a lot
more support problems deleting it than they would have just leaving it in
there. Seems more like jealousy or `not invented here' attitude than any good
logical reasons to me. XFS was developed by SGI. Redhat seems to see SGI as
a competitor, so do not help your competition no matter how stupid the
decision is or how much extra work it costs you. Just one of many stupid
decisions by Redhat.
