Hi, we're planning to use RedHat (7.2/7.3) on a Beowulf cluster. For data storage we would like to use XFS (mainly because it has virtually no inode limitations), so I looked for XFS patches on oss.sgi.com. Unfortunately, the people at SGI seem to be a bit behind, as their latest 2.4.20 kernel is based on what looks like kernel-2.4.20-19.7 from RedHat (they call it kernel-2.4.20-19.9.XFS1.3.0). There are minor patches from RH's 2.4.20-19.7 to -20.7 (6 patches, 1 revised patch). Would it make sense to (1) diff -u the .spec files (2) apply the patch to SGI-XFS's .spec file (3) make the new patches available (4) run rpm -ba ? Could someone with a bit more insight shed a little light on this?
