CentOS 5 doesn't support XFS in the installer
Once you have installed CentOS (with ext3 on the root disk), you can then install the xfsprogs RPM and make XFS file systems on other partitions/disks

And that's the exact same answer Kaushal was given on #centos earlier in the day. Let's not forget he was wanting an XFS /boot and / (and so using a LiveCD was suggested to do the format and partition in advance of the installer). Then there was a desire to do it all within the installer, so it was suggested you could just copy mkfs.xfs into the installer and do it by hand in the shell.

I use a custom CentOS 5 installer that will create (and install on) XFS /boot and / - so it is possible, but does involve patching and rebuilding anaconda and then rebuilding the installer images (not a straight forward process).
However, I'm not sure there is much to gain by having XFS /boot and / file systems

Can you not just do it with a pre script? I'd have thought you could wget mkfs.xfs and do the partition at that stage, then have it not format later on. Or are the partition probing issues?

No, I wasn't convinced there was either.

I wanted to add XFS as an available filesystem using the standard installer menu items for others to use.
