filesystem change

rblampain · 08-06-2005, 04:11 AM

I have FC2 installed on a system containing 13 ext3 partitions, I'd like to change one to XFS, how can I do this? This partition is empty.

Thank you for your help.

/sbin/mkfs.xfs /dev/hdax

Thanks to Charred.
I get the following message.
bash: /sbin/mkfs.xfs: No such file or directory
I specially installed the latest kernel with xfs enabled for this but it looks there is something missing.
If I try the same command for ext2, it complains the partition is mounted, so it seems xfs is not enabled properly.
I don't know what to look for. Any suggestions?

Installing the rpm fixed the problem.
