Yep, I've been modifying anaconda 7.2 (the Red Hat installer) to
support XFS. The code has changed a lot since 7.1 - anaconda actually
supports other filesystems than ext2 natively now (due to RH shipping
ext3). However, the many changes in this area also means that most of
the hacks we did for the 7.1 release are now null and void.
So it has essentially been adding XFS support from scratch. I still
have a few bootloader issues to sort out and I'm waiting for Eric to
finish some kernel changes. Plus we want to do some QA, of course...
In any case a 7.2 XFS installer is happenening, so stay tuned.
