Re: how to actually build SGI's xfs?

[Jeremy Hansen]

I've actually had great success with most other journal systems available,
including IBM's and Steven Tweedie's ext3.  I'd like to try XFS but I seem
to be missing something somewhere on how to actually DO THAT.  Didn't know
where else to turn really and figured people on linux-kernel have to be
playing with it, so...
