Then when <br>I tried to install the kernel from CentOS Plus I got an error saying<br>that there was already a newer version of the kernel installed (from<br>the default installation) so I gave up. It's a big shame that jfs is<br> only in CentOS Plus as I'm now going to have to somehow convert the<br>jfs partition to ext3 or xfs without losing 300GB of recordings -<br>bummer!<br></blockquote></div></blockquote></div><br><div>This is really a Redhat issue.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Redhat (and thus RHEL5) doesn't support JFS.
