unless you really need cvs, how about http via kernel.org?  or the git
tree? http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=xfs/xfs-2.6.git

If you want xfs for your 2.6.9-22.ELsmp kernel, you might just grab the
xfs kernel module packages & xfs userspace from the Centos distribution.

Or, since it looks like you're using scientific linux and not actually
RHEL, maybe just ask them.

Hello Sandeen,

  Thank you very much for your mail. I am new to Linux Kernel
Compilation. Could you please advise me the steps involved in enabling
xfs filesystem on Linux version 2.6.9-22.Elsmp. I have  googled and
tried few methods, but I have failed to enable XFS, Infact my machine is
not booting up after xfs module installation. Please help me.

Kind Regards,
       kumaraswamy Namburu

If you require xfs support for an enterprise-class Linux distribution
and you are not comfortable compiling your own kernel code, I would
suggest using something which already includes xfs support, such as
SuSE's SLES10.  Or, if you need xfs on RHEL, talk to Red Hat about that
need.

Otherwise I think I'd just be giving you enough rope to hang yourself. :)
