[CentOS] Re: CentOS Install From Scratch on XFS File System

 I'm thinking about switching to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 from another RH based

version. However, I need to install it from scratch and I need EVERYTHING (including /boot & /) on XFS file systems. Does the default installer allow this? If not, how difficult would it be to make the necessary changes. I've done a lot of Google searching and searching of the CentOS site, but haven't found an answer anyplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not supported in the installer. You would have to install, create new partitions, install xfs and make new initrd's copy everything to new xfs filesystems, and clean up any problems that crop up.
