It's not really possible or recommended to install .deb packages on
Fedora.  They were built for another distro.  Instead, you should look
for something built for Fedora 9 as an rpm.

Explain in a little more detail why you want to do this and what
particular .deb you have in mind and perhaps we can help you better.

Thank you for the information, it was quite helpful!! I was able to get 
what I needed working through an .rpm package but I found that you are 
correct that .deb is not for Fedora and could have really screwed up 
things if I tried to install it.

Thanks again

Have you installed the xfs tools.
I do not know what happens if xfs.fsck is absent and the
system thinks it needs checking.

Also what is your fstab mount line for this device, was it built on a logical volume
on the previous system?

If it is a hardware raid controller it is generally possible to "partition" it

How did your create the script "filter"?  Did you create it on a windows
machine?  The "^M" at the end of the line seems suspicious.
