I was wondering if anybody had any luck with tools to do automated
custom installs of systems with XFS filesystems.  The choices I have
seen all don't meet all of our needs...

1) Norton Ghost - does not support XFS

2) Systemimager - does not support XFS out of box.  apparently Austin
Gonyou has got it to work
(http://systemimager.org/pub/unofficial/XFS-Support_by_Austin_Gonyou/),
so I might be able to replicate this...

3) RedHat kickstart - does not allow customization of installed disk
(ie, Ximian, extra software, config files).

4) some hack with tftpboot, nfsroot, xfsdump/restore - ugly and hard to
automate

any others? any successes?

thanks!
