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).
So what is the best way to get XFS working with CentOS 4.3 ? And not have something like this happening.
A quote from the xfs list at sgi

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?
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).
