Are there any downsides to installing this kernel vs. relying on the standard kernel?To install the kernel-plus: # yum --enablerepo=centosplus install kernel-plus Boot into the just installed kernel-plus and check to see if jfs is working as expected. If all is fine, change the default kernel to kernel-plus: # yum-config-manager --setopt=centosplus.includepkgs=kernel-plus --enablerepo=centosplus --save # sed -e 's/^DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel$/DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-plus/' -i /etc/sysconfig/kernel I would not say there is any downside, but I'm highly biased. ;) Akemi
