Note, though, that the kernel you'll be checking out is not a RHEL4 kernel, but something more bleeding-edge, 2.6.23-rcX or so. > Is there any other way to get the kernel? > Also I learnt that XFS dmapi is not supported on RHEL4, is it? Like I said last time, no, at least not as far as I can remember. Although, now that I think harder, I think most of what dmapi needs is there, though, so depending on what you're doing, it may mostly work. Sorry, but I just don't remember all the details. Feel free to get the dmapi sources from the 2.6 tree, build against rhel4, and test. With some minor massaging, you could build dmapi as an external module. What are your plans for using it, if I may ask? > Is there any list of RHEL kernel releases which can support XFS with DMAPI > on x86_64 platforms? None that are official. SGI has shipped dmapi-capable RHEL4 kernels with CXFS, and that part is all GPL, so perhaps someone @sgi could take pity on you, or if you find someone who runs CXFS on RHEL4, they could give you the src.rpms :) -Eric
