RHEL filesystems

Trap for young players: RHEL only supports only the ext2 and ext3 filesystems (not counting FAT etc.) If you happen to have a big-ass disk that's already set up in XFS this can be quite a pain.

(I wonder why? Lack of assurance in the others? Simplicity?)

The kernel-unsupported package contains reiserfs, jfs and some others but not XFS.
