We're currently looking to upgrade one of our products to make use of InfiniBand technology, and unfortunately we're running QFS which does not support InfiniBand. We're interested in exploring the idea of using XFS so I had a few questions I was hoping you might be able to answer that I didn't seem to find in the FAQ section. > > Is XFS compatible with InfiniBand? XFS just needs a block device to talk to; the transport to the block device etc should not matter. > Is XFS compatible with RHEL 5.0 or higher? Compatible yes but not supported or shipped by Red Hat. > Is XFS compatible with Fibre Channel? See the first answer. (but anyway the the short answer is Yes.) > Is XFS compatible with Solaris 10 x86? AFAIK XFS has never been ported to Solaris. It's only a production FS on Linux & Irix. -Eric > Thanks very much for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.
