Speaking of the XFS filesystem, we might need to go that route in the
near future, so I thought I'd try mucking around with it.

A rudimentary google search turned up a posting to the xfs-list
from Dan Yocum where he states that he had merged the xfs bits back
into the kernel (looks like in SL302) and to enable xfs support
during the install, type 'linux xfs' at the boot prompt.

I've tried that with SL44, but when I get to the disk setup portion
of the installation, I don't see any options that would allow xfs,
just ext2, ext3, LVM, software RAID, swap, and vfat.

Question - are the xfs bits incorporated in the SL44 kernel?
If so, how does one enable it?
If not, how does one go about enabling an xfs filesystem?

Thanks!
- Larry
