I am attempting to implement XFS on a new system.
System:
Supermicro SC846 TQ-R900B - rack-mountable
SUPERMICRO X7DWN+ - motherboard
3ware 9650SE-24M8 - storage controller
10 Hitachi DeskStar 7K1000 - hard drive - 1 TB
8GB Ram
2 Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5420 / 2.5 GHz processor
Installed Centos 5.1 X86 64 from DVD. System on /dev/sda1
? 250GB ext3 (raid 5). /home will be on /dev/sdb1 ? over
7TB XFS.

I have not built the centosplus kernel for 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 as we are using the builders for 5.2 and kernels take forever to build in the builders as the debuginfo files are hundreds of MBs in size each. I also normally build all the extras kmods while I build the centosplus kernel, so they were also not yet done ... however I did go ahead and build the new kmods for drbd82, xfs, and kvm for the new 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel and those have now been pushed to the extras directory. They should be synced to the external public mirrors in a couple hours, and should be on mirror.centos.org now here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/extras/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In that thread, I was told to expect such things and test better because xfs was not in official brunch neither in rhel nor in centos.
Continuing to get XFS to work Instaled # yum instal kmod-xfs.x86_64 # yum install xfsprogs.x86_64 # yum install xfsdump.x86_64 # yum install xfsprogs.x86_64 Rebooted # fdisk /dev/sdb Created the partition. fdisk reported Disk /dev/sdb: 7731.4 GB, 7731478004224 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 939965 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Fdisk will only allowed 267349 (2TB) for the partition. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 223G 5.9G 206G 3% / tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1 2.0T 1.1M 2.0T 1% /home How can I create a partition grater then 2TB. Also I have noticed that the GUI utilities do not recanisr the partition at all. Is there anything else that I need to install? Mike
