Somebody posted recently that xfs works on Linux/IA64. However, there are no kernel patches against 2.4.4/5 on oss.sgi.com. Can anybody tell whether the patches they offer work with newer kernels as well?

Regards,
Martin

The XFS Release 1.0 files are against 2.4.2 and do not fit very well on recent kernels. There have been some ad-hoc patches released for later kernels, but no official release. You are better off getting XFS from CVS (which is now up to 2.4.6-pre3) and applying the IA64 patch on top of that.
