Where do I get the rpm or source to build support for xfs?

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

I have a Rhel 6.6 system. I want to add a large terabyte array to the
system, so I need xfs support for it.

I have downloaded a couple of xfsprogs rpm which are supposed to work on
rhel 6, but the glibc library they need is incompatible with that on the
system.

I have installed all the updates available to the system.

rpm -qa glibc
glibc-2.12-1.149.el6.i686

Hi, Margaret,

You say you d/l an rpm - why not just yum update or yum install
xfsprogs? We're mostly running CentOS, which is pretty much the same as
RHEL, and it's in the base repo.
xfsprogs.x86_64 3.1.1-14.el6

Mark,

I tried that first after I had completed all my updates.

yum install xfsprogs
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security,
subscription-manager
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
Setting up Install Process
No package xfsprogs available.
Error: Nothing to do

Ok, I just went onto an RHEL system we have, it's also 6.6... and yum list
\*xfs\* shows *nothing*. I think you need to put in a ticket with RH - it
should be there.

I think that xfsprogs is on the installation RHEL6 DVD, but isn't in any
channels unless you add the Scalable File System add-on.

Its available by default in RHEL7.

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

I found my mistake. xfs is not available for 32 bit systems.

Sorry for the problem.

Hmmm... note that the system I did it on is 64-bit 6.6. I think that it
may not be out yet for 6.6 - it may be for 6.5.

Right, then I hit <send> before my thought catches up. Yeah, they're
dropping most support for 32-bit. You might check the extras repo.

You might be surprised.

XFS support is an extra for RHEL6; you need to add a channel (there's a fee
IIRC). As others have remarked, it is the default for RHEL7.

However, at least on x86_64, the kernel supports the filesystem. You only need
to obtain the xfsprogs to create a filesystem.

You can hand install the CentOS rpm if necessary. I'd pay the $s myself, but my
management is a little weird about expenses.

Disclaimer: I'm not running any 32 bit RHEL systems.

Cheers,

I'm not weird; I'm gifted.

Thanks for your help.

I wrote about this issue in 2011:

http://epistolatory.blogspot.no/2011/11/rhel-6-part-iv-placing-xfs-into.html

However, you CAN install the xfsprogs and xfs* packages from the CentOS
repositories. The downside, every time you like to update the system,
you will have to update manually. The way we solved this was to make our
own repo for the xfs utilities and we always snap them from CentOS.

I can also confirm, as already pointed out, that RHEL7 has it by default
as part of the rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64 repo.

A simple followup: install the CentOS repo, then edit it to include *only*
xfsprogs. That way, when you do a yum update, it will get only that from the
CentOS mirror.

Also, don't forget to add and import the CentOS RPM GPG key.

I actually have the centos-extras repo on my RHEL7 workstation so I
can use docker, which appears to only be in the RHEL7 Server channel.
