RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Perry Myers 2010-12-09 21:24:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
XFS works as a valid filesystem in the fs resource agent, but we need to include XFS testing in the context of RHEL HA Add On to fully support it.  The existing test matrix that covers ext2/3/4 just needs to be expanded to include tests of XFS as well

For RHEL 6.0 and 6.1, usage of XFS within RHEL HA Add On is considered Technology Preview.  Full support for XFS within the RHEL HA Add On as a managed resource will be fully supported in a future release of RHEL.

Comment 4 Sayan Saha 2011-05-23 02:25:51 UTC 
Please also add the following to the above tech-note in order to avoid ambiguity with regards to the support status of XFS in general:

"Note that XFS itself is fully supported in RHEL6.0 and 6.1 and is generally
available as the Scalable File System Add-On."
Comment 5 Brian Forte 2011-05-23 02:31:20 UTC 
Technical Note text tweaked to reinforce the point that XFS is supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 but is a technology preview in the High Availability Add On.

Comment 16 Corey Marthaler 2011-10-13 14:33:03 UTC 
I added XFS as an option to be used with HA LVM testing. This basically places XFS on top of HA LVM mirrored volumes (where ext3 had been). Service relocation and mirror device failure test cases were then executed. Everything worked (or didn't work) as expected.
Comment 17 Nate Straz 2011-10-20 14:13:57 UTC 
I ran through the HA-NFS tests with XFS backing and found no issues.
