Actaully, I was!


Try mounting the filesystem and see what happens.

I did this, and it reported that xfs was not supported by the kernel. A quick look in /proc/filesystems confirmed this, and another quick look in /boot confirmed that the new kernel I had made was not installed where I thought it was!


After fixing this, and rebooting, creating the XFS file system proceedes without an error message, and mounting the filesystem is fine.

Thanks!

Andrew.
