What makes you think you need a custom kernel? I have a machine running XFS with the stock kernel. [adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/issue Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon) [adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/fstab ... UUID=601f4a9a-8d68-4691-8a7a-3082cb367cc6 /var xfs defaults 1 2 ... Is there a specific feature of XFS you need that is unsupported?
