Just like before? Or > was I reading those e-mails wrong. That is supposedly solved, and the two lead developers at SGI on XFS on Linux now have @redhat.com addresses and thus RH got some XFS love, too (previously there was a striong Suse link). Still RH pushes for its favourite filesystems, e.g. ext3/4 and gfs2. The RHEL kernel has stripped off all parts the RH support does not want to offer support for, this includes most filesystems like xfs/jfs etc as well as firewire support, dvb support and so on. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
