Bug Description
Release: Linux Mint Debian Edition 32-bit (ISO image dated 201101)
I use an XFS partition for /home and configured it in the installer. Everything went well, until I tried to log into the newly installed system: I got two error messages and was dropped back to GDM. I had to switch to tty1 and mount the partition manually before logging in.
A quick dmesg shows that whatever driver is responsible for mounting XFS does not recognise the "errors" option.
Workaround: to fix this, the "errors=remount-ro" option has to be removed from /etc/fstab, for the XFS partition.
I believe this is a LMDE-specific issue, as I previously installed Debian Squeeze (beta) on this machine and auto-mounting the XFS partition as /home worked flawlessly.

Thanks for reporting this bug!
live-installer appears to be making the assumption that the partitions are
ext4, adding ext4-specific options to /etc/fstab
This will be fixed in a future release
