All the / system is XFS:
$ mount
/dev/hda1 on / type unknown (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (
The kernel is from a Debian XFS Netinst CD:
$ uname -a
Linux ithaqua 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs #1 Son Jul 14 09:40:39 CEST 2002 i686
GNU/Linux
The computer is a laptop Thinkpad T21 that I got two daya ago. I'll try to
upgrade the kernel to 2.6.7, because my desktop also has xfs, with a 2.6.5
kernel, and has no problem with all that. It also could be some
missconfiguration or missing dependency :-?
