To use XFS in Fedora (http://www.fedoraproject.org) you need to add the word "xfs" to the installer commandline and also make sure you use a seperate, small (100MB is enough) partition that's called /boot that's using ext3 (others work but I recommend using ext3 simply for that partition). // Stefan
