That would be excellent, I have asked the FC mailing list for ideas on
how to get this in the main stream anaconda without having to type linux
xfs all the time at the install boot prompt to get XFS support.
This is a different (but related) issue to the grub problem - RedHat
don't support XFS, so they don't provide it as an available file system
in the installer by default - but at least anaconda will support XFS -
if, as you say, you use 'xfs' on the install boot command line - which
is better than no support at all for XFS ...
You can also hack the anaconda scripts to make XFS as an available file
system, but it's probably quicker for most people to add 'xfs' on the
boot command line.
I don't understand why they are so resistant to adding XFS and ReiserFS
support to FC and Anaconda. I would be very interested in knowing the
reason.
You will need to search the archives of this list for pointers as to
reasons why RedHat may or may not support XFS.
