I browsed and grepped throught he source code of Anaconda and loader.c for both CentOS and Fedora 4 for all occurrences of reiserfs and xfs. Code in Anaconda and loader.c in CentOS still has support for ReiserFS and XFS (same in Fedora Core 4), however xfs and reiserfs arguments passed (from isolinux/syslinux) do not work in CentOS. The kernel runs loader which then runs Anaconda so I don't see anything else that could be stripping out "xfs" or "reiserfs." > Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ > GnuPG Public Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
