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. :) -Eric
