xfsprogs is missing

[alienus]

Hi,

Last beta installed.
All my filesystems partitions are xfs.

The installer let me choose it to setup the install but it is impossible to do it for the main system, it results as a hang/freeze/cancel when trying to format it.

Next I have choosen ext4 for the main eos install and choose to mount my others partitions with xfs.
All went fine but at reboot, there are troubles, you have to choose to not mount the others partitions or to manually fix the errors.
I think that some users could sadly stop the try at this moment.

The fixes are to add xfsprogs and its deps to the ISO or to remove XFS from the availables filesystems.

Best regards.

To clarify: the installer allows the creation of XFS partitions, but the system can not boot them without additional XFS related packages, right? I just installed xfsprogs and related dependencies and it comes in at only 3,082 kB.

Indeed I wasn't so clear ;)

So, the installer allows the choice, not the creation, of XFS but then, cannot do anything as it can't format the partitions due to missing XFS related packages.
In the same way, you can choose to add your already xfs formated partitions (/home, /data,...) but then can't reboot with those partitions automatically mounted.

I added it to the iso.
