Hi all,
Does anybody know why unlike so many Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE) CentOS does not come with XFS support by default but rather requires custom modifications after the install in order for you to be able to support XFS on your CentOS machine? Just seems a little odd given how much CentOS is oriented to be used as a server OS.
Thanks.
AFAIK, XFS kernel, modules and utils are available in CentOSPlus[1] repo
This is not correct anymore. The kernel module is in the normal kernel (atleast in 5.4 and 5.5) and the xfsprogs package is in CentOS-extras.
Note that XFS is not available for i386 since it has problems with 4K kernel stacks (in some situations).
