I am beginning to think > whether XFS is really supported in CentOS :) OK ... let me give you an official answer red hat does not even release the the gfs kmods on the same day as the kernel, that is FULLY supported and even an added expense for rhel4. we DO NOT update xfs (or the centosplus kernel) on the same day as the base centos kernels. We are NOT going to wait to release the main kernel security update for a day or more to get centosplus stuff also done. xfs IS NOT SUPPORTED in the same way as the base centos distro is and xfs is not in RHEL. Our 2 million users do not want to wait for the base kernel security updates for 2 extra days so that a very small group of people who use the xfs file system can get their updates at the same time. It might take even longer to get these built as no one pays me to build them and I have a real job and a real life ... if you can't do one of these: 1. Build your own module. 2. Exclude the kernel and only update it when the modules are ready. Then you can pay me $200.00 per hour and I will manage your server for you.
