Hello,

I was browsing the release notes of the upcoming "update 4" of Red hat
Enterprise v5 and apparently the XFS filesystem will be supported in
this release.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html-single/Release_Notes/

"1.4.1.3. Filesystems

[...] Support for the XFS file system has also been added to the kernel
(BZ#470845)."

Any tester of the beta version of RHEL 5u4 to confirm?

Regards,
