Since the xfs "port" for redhat is an sgi product, you will have to request information directly from them. But i wouldnt hold your breath. I have been a huge sgi advocate for a number of years and absolutely LOVE xfs and was quite elated to see its "port" for redhat linux, have it installed on a number of "test" dev boxes to play with and its actually NOT that bad - not perfect by any means, but its an early port. I suggest keeping this OFF of any production box you are running, play with it, contact your local sgi techie, and wait for continued improvements in both the file system support as well as the kernel. sorry i wasnt much help, but this is not a redhat product per se, so we are kind of out there on our own with sgi.
