mkfs.xfsed. anaconda died

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkfs.xfs /dev/sda4; mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1
2. install FC3, use /dev/sda4 for / and /dev/sdb1 for /boot
3.

if the same devices are mkfs.xfsed by anaconda, installation continues

anaconda's dump when / was pre-mkfsed
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-11-15 15:18:36 UTC 
Do the devices have a label previously on them?
Comment 4 Bernhard Erdmann 2004-11-15 15:28:04 UTC 
no, no label has been given, just "mkfs.xfs /dev/sda4"
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-11-15 16:04:11 UTC 
Can you manually add a label to the filesystem?

(Note that the XFS support in anaconda is unofficial and not really
supported; it's based almost completely on patches that have been
submitted from external reporters)
