Hi all, Before I try to find out myself (the machine is in use so I can''t do it this week), does the Centos Xen kernel support XFS file system out the box or do I simply yum it like "yum install kmod-xfs" after loading my Xen kernal? I know other distros do like Ububtu, but unsure if Centos does and what the ramifications are. My goal here is to have the hypervisor format a 24TB volume and then have my domUs access parts of it via the tap:aio method. - Brian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Make sure you have those repos turned on. Cheers! Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I''ll use Windows."

Thanks Grant, will do. Yea, I read some threads about getting from the extras repo. I''m curious, why isn''t XFS part of the Centos default distro? - Brian On Jan 7, 2009, at 11:05 AM, Grant McWilliams wrote:> > On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 10:43 AM, Brian Krusic <brian@krusic.com> > wrote: > Hi all, > > Before I try to find out myself (the machine is in use so I can''t do > it this week), does the Centos Xen kernel support XFS file system > out the box or do I simply yum it like "yum install kmod-xfs" after > loading my Xen kernal? > > I know other distros do like Ububtu, but unsure if Centos does and > what the ramifications are. > > My goal here is to have the hypervisor format a 24TB volume and then > have my domUs access parts of it via the tap:aio method. > > - Brian > > > kmod-xfs for xen kernels is in centosplus and centos-extras.

Bad news, looks like the Centos Xen kernel doesn''t recognize XFS but the standard Centos kernel does. When i did a yum install kmod-xfs, it also downloaded the latest I hope I am wrong. Any ideas? - Brian On Jan 7, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Grant McWilliams wrote:> On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Brian Krusic <brian@krusic.com> > wrote: > Thanks Grant, will do. > > Yea, I read some threads about getting from the extras repo. > > I''m curious, why isn''t XFS part of the Centos default distro? > > - Brian > > Because it''s not a part of Redhat EL5.

kmod-xfs would be for the standard kernel...
kmod-xfs-xen would be for the xen kernel ...
ALL the kernel modules are going to be different between the xen
and standard kernels... not so much because the code is actually
changed, but because kernel modules have to "match" the kernel
they are compiled for...
-Tom
IMHO, doing a "yum list" and dumping it into a file for reference
is
usefull... e.g.
[root@tom2 ~]# grep -i xfs tmpx.all
xorg-x11-xfs.x86_64 1:1.0.2-4 installed
dxfscope.x86_64 0.2-3.2.el5.rf rpmforge
fuse-obexfs.x86_64 0.11-1.el5.rf rpmforge
kmod-xfs.x86_64 0.4-2 extras
kmod-xfs-xen.x86_64 0.4-2 extras
xfsdump.x86_64 2.2.46-1.el5.centos extras
xfsprogs.x86_64 2.9.4-1.el5.centos extras
xfsprogs-devel.x86_64 2.9.4-1.el5.centos extras
