Regarding XFS, this comes from the OL6.1 release notes (http:// oss.oracle.com/el6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U1-en.html):
"The following Technology Preview features are currently not supported
under Oracle Linux 6 and may not be functionally complete:
...
XFS
...
These features are not suitable for production use. However, these
features are included to provide the feature with wider exposure."
However, in the OL6.0 release notes (http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/docs/ RELEASE-NOTES-GA-en.html), XFS is NOT included in the list of "Technology Preview features"... So, does this mean that they removed support for XFS between versions 6.0 and 6.1???
