Which kernel are you using? CVS, snapshot patches?

        File systems --> Partition types --> SGI partition support

This is SGI partition label support. That just makes it possible to look at the different partitions. It has nothing to do with XFS filesystem support.

Under File systems there should be a SGI XFS filesystem option.

You can use the snapshot patches from the ftp site or the CVS tree if that's easier for you.

compiled into the kernel, yet when I try to mount like this:

        mount -t xfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb/

mount returns that xfs is not supported by the kernel.

Then:
a) You did not compile it into the kernel
b) The tree doesn't have XFS support. (the fs/xfs directory).
