It is not. It is still in development, and even if a 2.6.0 is released I just think back to 2.4.0, just because it is called stable doesn't make it stable. I am sure it will need at least half a year for the major distros (RedHat, Novell/SuSe, Mandrake) to pick it up. Perhaps some others more earlier (Gentoo who knows), some never (Debian), but still, in the mean time it is always a bit tricky with kernel updats here. Either I patch it with the SGI and might have troubles with other patches, or I take the -ac (which didn't work last time because of some driver problems with the HP/Compaq Raid) or I take the -ck which is a Desktop patchset and not a server patchset ... Well in just my opinion XFS should go into 2.4 (and not only because ALL other FS are in there already). 2.4 will be the main kernel for quite some more time and always come up with the argument "but 2.6 is so ready" doesn't help ... - -- Clemens Schwaighofer - IT Engineer & System Administration ========================================================== Tequila Japan, 6-17-2 Ginza Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8167, JAPAN Tel: +81-(0)3-3545-7703 Fax: +81-(0)3-3545-7343 http://www.tequila.jp ========================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/y+IKjBz/yQjBxz8RAlmAAJ44ixaLQ0UWX+y3pfM3AGJplJ/VdwCfSHP8 ghIZWUtwQhg+ZHU/iN4obzI= =KfM2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
