ok my first problem is the fact that mkfs.xfs doesnt appear to be on my system. I have tried yum install mkfs.xfs, and yum install xfs, and no dice. I suppose the first thing for me to do would be to get that package installed.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello,<br />
I need to know how to setup XFS on a specific device on a CENTOS5 (RHEL5) server. The device is /dev/sda, which is a hardware raid 10. Furthermore, I need to know also &nbsp;(for another raid) how to push the journaling onto a different device (journaling from this raid should be pushed onto /dev/sda as well).<br />

How do I install XFS on a Centos5 x86_64 System?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
