I anm trying to enable XFS with no success. I followed the instructions provided in http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus I installed the new kernel. Example: 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus

I also installed these packages as described in a post I found yum install --enablerepo=centosplus xfsprogs xfsprogs-devel

lsmod shows nothing about XFS

I would image there are others out there running XFS on Centos boxes. Could you please help.

ps. Just joined the list(switching over from Fedora). I recognised the name Scott Silva from the Mailscanner list I also belong to. Small world. Where does he find the time?

When you are getting such awesome software for little to no cost, you find time to give back to the community. And it keeps your skills sharp and your memory fresh. We all have to start somewhere.

1) you don't need the centosplus kernel use the normal one 2) you do need the kmod-xfs package (the xfs module) and xfsprogs 3) all this from extras not centosplus

lsmod shows nothing about XFS

xfs is only loaded if you do either "modprobe xfs" or if you try to mount an xfs filesystem.
