Is it possible to mount an LVM/xfs filesystem

[rdhir]

I wish to migrate from Openfiler to FreeNAS. I've built a FreeNAS system for a client using RAIDZ and I'm very happy with it.

I would like to migrate my own system, but don't fancy copying across the network and was wondering if anyone had been able to mount an XFS filesystem under LVM on a FreeBSD system

I've googled, but not really found an answer

Thanks in advance

It seems it should work in FreeBSD:
LVM: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=29659
XFS: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/filesystems-linux.html

However, while FreeNAS ships with the geom_linux_lvm.ko kernel module, xfs.ko is not present. Maybe you can try to copy the module form a full FreeBSD 9.1 install.

The man pages:
www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geom_linux_lvm
www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=xfs

Cheers. I'll have a look. I'm not afraid of compiling my own modules as I've had to do it in Linux several times.

I also need to use a rocket raid 2680, but I think I've got what I need for that.

I may stick with freebsd 8 depending on BC what happens with drivers!
