Hi, I installed kernel version 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 a few days ago .my home partition is formatted with xfs .But this version is refusing to recognize xfs filesystem.the version before that(2.6.9-34.108.plus.c4) is working fine. Do anyhave any idea what is going on.Arent all centos plus kernel supposed to have support for xfs and ntfs etc.
xfs is now only available as an additional rpm, which can be used with either the plus or the distro kernel
The file you are looking for is in:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/RPMS/
(or substitute x86_64 for i386)
and named: kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4-0.1-3.?????.rpm
I installed kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL-0.1-3.i686.rpm from the site you mentioned . But it is still unable to mount xfs filesystem at boot time.It gives following error.
mount: fs type xfs not supported by kernel
after booting up in 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 if i issue command "modprobe xfs" it gives an error about module not found.But following files are present on system.
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL/extra/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL/extra/xfs_quota.ko
You will notice that 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 is not the same as 2.6.9-42.0.2.
If all you needed the plus kernel for was xfs, then I would recommend you use the standard kernel alongside the standard-kernel-xfs-module package you already have installed.
