CentOS docs - Oct 2008 - Small correction in CentOSPlus (AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus)

Hi,

Small correction there.

Example 4 of section 2 (how to use XFS with CentOSPlus kernel) says
you should use this configuration line in [centosplus] section of yum:

includepkgs=kernel* xfs* dmapi*

However, the XFS module's package name is kmod-xfs*, so I believe it
should actually be:

includepkgs=kernel* kmod-xfs* xfs* dmapi*

I did this on a system of mine, and in the first case it did not
include an update for the kmod, just for the kernel, the second one
worked as expected.

HTH,
Filipe

IIRC the centosplus kernel has xfs "built in" as a module, so the
first
line should be correct.

Cheers,

No longer true. :D  xfs is provided as a kernel module in cplus as well.

I have made the addition thanks to Felipe.

I might be wrong, but from my recent experiences in CentOS 5, I
remember having to install the module before being able to mount an
XFS volume.

Was it maybe different in CentOS 4?
