Btw, Redhat has a completely different XFS codebase than mainline 2.6.32, here's the diffstat summary between 2.6.32 and rhel6.1: 96 files changed, 5083 insertions(+), 5211 deletions(-) Which roughly equals the diff between 2.6.32 and 2.6.34. So there's a fairly large chance things simply won't apply as-is anyway. The same is also true for ext4, btrfs and nfs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
