> OK, of the 10 distro's listed by distrowatch as Major, only Mandrake, Sorceror and GenToo are listed as supporting XFS. Not to disparage XFS at all, but to claim that more support it than don't is just wrong. A year from now, that claim might become true, but it isn't right now.

Distrowatch is wrong:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#nativesupport

Redhat will not add support for XFS natively until its in a stable kernel
tree (2.6.x).  Most likely 8.1 will be released before 2.6.x.  But you can
always get the unofficial RH installer from the XFS folks, so i consider
it to be a non-issue.
