I guess I forgot to add that I downloaded the x86_64 set of SL 4.5 CD's.
At least under SL 3.0.2/5, XFS will work with 4k stacks, as long as one
doesn't pile a lot of layers on top of the file system.  Layers like logical
volumes and NFS and what ever else one can thing of.  We have been running
fine with software RAID 0 and 1 (2 separate partitions), XFS, and NFS.

     So, with the x86_64 set of six SL 4.5 CD's combined into one DVD, if we
just do:

	linux xfs

do we have a chance?  I was under the impression that the installer doesn't
give XFS as a default option and that if `xfs' is used on the command line it
would be available.  Someone gave me some diff's for anaconda source and that
seemed to be the only change.  XFS isn't `officially' support by RedHat's
installer, but if one added the command line option it will do it, but with a
warning message.
