I am trying to install the kernel src rpm that I've downloaded from the CentOS ftp, kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm. I hope to compile the kernel with XFS enabled. However, I have tried to simply run:
This is an old kernel. There is a kernel module package for the default kernel with updated XFS support written for centos for this kernel version. I believe the plan was to roll the updated XFS code into the unsupported kernel for -34/ centos 4.3
ps. I have tried to install the CentOSplus kernel with xfs and that is completely unstable for me.
That's because it's XFS from 2.6.9, and something that RHEL doesn't support, so there's no real worry if one of their patches breaks XFS support. Using the updated centos XFS code will be the least painful, though it's a promise that it'll be stable either.
