Hi all -
We're finishing up a modified Red Hat installer which gives the user a
choice between ext2 and SGI's XFS for each filesystem being installed.
This was based on a rawhide Anaconda snapshot a couple of releases ago.
It's working pretty well - would anyone at Red Hat be interested in a
patch that adds this capability? It's pretty xfs-specific now, but
probably wouldn't take too much to make it more general for xfs, ext3,
reiser, and ext2.
Just don't laugh at my python - this was my first exposure to python.
:)
There are a couple of kludges since it seems that sometimes the
assumption is made that if the partition type is "Linux Native" then the
filesystem must be ext2 - and variables like "fstype" are sometimes the
partition type, sometimes the actual filesystem type...
The complete installer is here:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/PreRelease-0.9/RH7.0-SGI-XFS_PR/
It's full of SGI logos and such, but I can send a patch with just the
code changes if anyone at RH wants it.
Thanks,
-Eric Sandeen
