Comment 13 for bug 1965587

Workaround: Create 'mkfs.xfs' wrapper to append '-m reflink=0' on centos70.
---

Add this line to the 'early_commands' section (create it, if needed)
in the file 'curtin_userdata_centos_amd64_generic_centos70',
on top of the original 'curtin_userdata[_centos]' file
(the location/file depends on MAAS install method: SNAP/DEB)

exec /usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs -m reflink=0 \"\$@\"">$F && chmod +x $F' ]

- SNAP:
copy /var/snap/maas/current/preseeds/curtin_userdata
to curtin_userdata_centos_amd64_generic_centos70
(early_commands section already exists)

With this workaround applied, MAAS 2.9.2 can deploy and boot CentOS 7
on a plain XFS partition or XFS on top of MD RAID0:
