At this time being, there's no official XFS kernel images nor patches
in Debian, however there is xfsprogs as far as I know in Woody & Sid. I am
willing to work on an XFS kernel floppy boot disk, but it would be pointless
cine a kernel image with XFS is bloated by about 300K if I'm not mistaken, at
least the ones on some of the machines I put XFS into. There are Reiserfs
images avaiable however.
I certainly would like to get a hold of some XFS based install disks if
anyone ever has done any with success.
