Hi people, has anyone attemted an install with xfs in FC6? I attempted two installs using XFS today, and both failed. I tried on two different hard disks just incase one had some issues, but both drives behaved in the same manner. In both cases the install completed without error. However, upon rebooting, the console was flooded with I/O error messages indicating that reads were failing. Also I could not log in as it seemed so many library files were missing. I later did an install using ext3 as the file system and the system booted without issue. In fact this email is being typed on FC6. It would seem xfs is working in the installer kernels, but not the packaged kernels.
I had the exact same experience. I ended up going ext3 as well.
The kernel is kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 and its running on a Pentium 4 2.6GHz with 1GB of ram with hyperthreading not enabled in the bios. I guess this serves me right for not testing the beta...
Yup, I actually noticed major xfs issues with test1 but didn't file a bug on it. Now I know better. -Jeremy
