Hi,
I have linux-2.4.19 with xfs-1.2pre2 running on sparc (sun4m).
I've found a problem about mkfx.xfs included in xfsprogs-2.3.5.
If harddisk has only one partition, mkfx.xfs destoroy its disklabel.

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or
OSF disklabel
Building a new sun disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
