I am about to install a new server running CentOS 5.4. The server will

I would like to benefit from the extra speed and features of a ext4
filesystem but I don't have any experience with it.
Is there some member of the list who can en

I also thought about using xfs, but I don't like the idea of it being
dependent of an external kernel module that is always lagging behind the
current kernel version.

On CentOS 5.3 x86_64, I'm trying to build
xfsprogs-2.9.4-1.el5.centos.x86_64 with -ggdb so I can use it with gdb

src rpm as a non-root user and when I run rpmbuild -bc during
the ./configure I get the error:
