Maybe you should download the SGI XFS-installer ISO. It doesn't appear
to be in CVS... http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ (Project page)
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.0.2/installer/i386/
The anaconda SRPM contains all the modifications in well-documented form
according to Martin K. Petersen of Linuxcare, Inc., one of the core XFS
for Linux developers. He even offered to be contacted directly if we had
specific questions. I'll send you his e-mail address in a private mail.
I don't have the ISO at hand, otherwise I would have put the anaconda
SRPM up to my website. :-(
