Hi All, after looking around for info on XFS(the filesystem) and its use on CentOS and/or RHEL 4. There seems to be a lot of noise about 4K Stacks (especially on linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com).
you might want to dig into that noise...
So what is the best way to get XFS working with CentOS 4.3 ? And not have something like this happening.
follow the centos-xfs-kernel-rpm process, you already highlighted.
You don't want to use the XFS in the centosplus kernel. It has major known issues with 4K stacks (leading to overflows). Use the kernel-module-xfs (or somesuch) RPM instead, and you should have better luck.
Do I need a kernel with 8K stacks?
thats a decisions for you to take :)
and is this
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-34....
the "kernel-module-xfs" RPM he was talking about (or equivalent for `uname -r` equals 2.6.9-34.ELsmp).
yes
