Hi all.
I'm building a new server for customer, with the 11.3 RC ( actually factory ) using kernel 2.6.34-11-default #1 SMP 2010-06-24 00:46:11 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Your post made me check the status of xfsprogs (ie. userspace). Unfortunately it looks like 11.3 is only going to have xfsprogs 3.0.1 which I think is a shame. Newer version are out, but most important update I think is 3.1.0 from January or so: The biggest changes in xfsprogs 3.1.0 were optimizations in xfs_repair that lead to a much lower memory usage, and optional use of the blkid library for filesystem detection and retrieving storage topology information. xfs_repair prior to 3.1.0 I believe required a linear amount of RAM for filesystem size. Thus the kernel side of XFS has been ready of 16TB+ partitions for a while, but with only xfsprogs 3.0.1 in 11.3, it requires a large amount of RAM to run the repair tool. To my surprise, I don't even see xfsprogs 3.1.0 (or newer) in OBS yet at all. (Not even a home directory.)
