I recently tried a reinstall of FC1 on an xfs partition. As a side
note: it appears you have to label the partition when formatting it as
xfs, reiser, etc. I booted with a knoppix cd and reformated my /
partition as xfs but didn't label it. Then I booted with FC1 disc 1
with linux xfs boot options and tried to install. It could see the xfs
partition, but the label was greyed out. The only thing I could do to
change the label was to reformat as ext3 etc. I'll try it again in the
future.
