Problems with XFS 1.0.2a anaconda

[Ajay Ramaswamy <ajayr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I have just stated playing around with the installer and making some 
modifications to it when I noticed some problems

1. Why is the installer not adding xfsdump and dependencies to the 
Utilities group? Look at the diffs below

from XFS 1.0.1 for RedHat 7.1

I have found that using "pagebuf xfs_support xfs" instead of just "xfs" is 
more reliable and always genarates the correct iso for me otherwise using 
the 2.4.9-13 boot kernel does not work for me.

3. In creating the install image for the CD

as I can see it xfsdump will not run since the necessary libraries are 
nowhere to be found

# ldd /sbin/xfsdump

#

libhandle is from xfsprogs, libdm is from dmapi & libattr is from attr

4. When I use the XFS 1.0.2 cd in rescue mode it complains that it cannot 
find the filesystems that are specified by LABEL= tags in fstab. I see 
that the label is assigned by

+    def labelDevice(self, entry, chroot):
+        devicePath = entry.device.setupDevice(chroot)
+        label = labelFactory.createLabel(entry.mountpoint, 
self.maxLabelChars)
+        db_cmd = "label " + label
+        rc = iutil.execWithRedirect("/usr/sbin/xfs_db",
+                                    ["xfs_db", "-x", "-c", db_cmd, 
devicePath],+                                    stdout = "/dev/tty5",
+                                    stderr = "/dev/tty5")
+        if rc:
+            raise SystemError
+        entry.setLabel(label)
+

in dispatch.py, but when I do man xfs_db I cannot find any way to set the 
label with command label.

Thank you

regards
Ajay
