I tried

     xset fp rehash

and that produced no response --- no error message, but no "acknowledgement"
either.  Then I tried

     sudo service xfs restart

and got

So I then tried

     systemctl status xfs.service

and got

Looks ominous, to say the least.  No idea what to do about it, but.

Doing

     yum search xfs.service

gives

I hope *somebody* out there can point me in the right direction.

     cheers,
