The CentOSPlus repository contains packages that are upgrades to the packages in the CentOS base + CentOS updates repositories. These packages are not part of the upstream distribution and extend CentOS's functionality at the expense of upstream compatibility.
To gain access to Centos Plus, follow the instructions on this page

We want to use CentOSPlus kernel to be able to use the jfs or reiserfs file system and the creation tools. We would edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and modify the following in the [centosplus] section:
- Code: Select all
enabled=1
includepkgs=kernel* jfsutils reiserfs-utils
In the [base] and [update] section you would do the following:
- Code: Select all
exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-smp-* kernel-hugemem* kernel-largesmp* (CentOS 4 only)
exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE-* (CentOS 5 only)
There are currently no RPMS uploaded for Centos Plus for Centos 5.
