I have uploaded xiafspgm-0.8.1.tar.z to tsx-11.mit.edu and sunsite.unc.edu in
the incoming dir. It may be moved to xiafs dir.

The following is the README.upgrade file in the package.
============================================================================

Which version of xiafspgm works with which kernel version ?	
	xiafspgm 0.8, 0.8.1 work with Linux/xiafs-0.7.3, Linux-0.99.7A.
	xiafspgm 0.7.1 works with xiafs-0.7.3 and/or earlier version. 

!!! DO NOT USE xiafspgm-0.7.1 OR EARLIER VERSION IF YOU HAVE RUN 
(0.8/0.8.1) xfsck.

To upgrade to Linux-0.99.7A/xiafspgm-0.8.1, do

1). Compile 0.99.7A kernel and xiafspgm-0.8.1 under any version.

2). Install the kernel (one may use mkboot included in xiafspgm-0.8.1).

3). Boot the new kernel, and make sure the new kernel works for you.

4). Run (0.8.1) "xfsck -a /dev/xxx", xfsck will report many "bad i_blocks".
    You can safely ignore this error message when you run xfsck first
    time.
    
5). replace old xiafs and xfsck with new ones.



If you want to check filesystem during booting, put "xfsck -r <whatever>"
in "/etc/rc". In any case, do not use "xfsck -a" unless you know what
you are doing.
