Hello XFS team,
In order to make XFS work on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, using the stock
RH largesmp kernel (our server has 16 CPU's) I had to adapt the spec
file for the kernel-module-xfs source rpm you offer for download at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/RHEL4/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.EL-0.1-1.src.rpm
The issue is that largesmp was not recognized as a kernel type, and with
the original specfile an RPM was build with a dependency
"requires kernel-smp = 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELlarge" where the dependency should
have been "requires kernel-largesmp = 2.6.9-67.0.1".
The fix was to add "largesmp" to the list of defined kernel_type at the
top of the .spec file. I also fixed a typo in this list (default instead
of deault). The new fixed spec file (kernel-module-xfs.spec), the
original spec file (kernel-module-xfs.spec.orig) and a diff between the
two (kernel-module-xfs.spec.patch are attached to this email.
For other users, it might be useful to include this in the next release.
Kind regards,
Mirjam van den Hout

SGI doesn't really maintain those; the xfs kernel modules in the
centosplus repository
(http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt) are probably a
better place to start, as they have some active users and a bit of
maintenance.
(IMHO a fair amount of stuff on the xfs ftp site is so outdated it
should be removed....)
