I'd have to check, but anaconda may just say "if mount has _any_ output,
then assume it's a dirty filesystem, and bail out." Since it was
originally designed to work only with ext2, this would be a decent
assumption. We could make it smarter for the XFS installer, but that's
gonna be a ways down the priority list. :)
