[Feature request] Add XFS as available filesystem

Althorion opened this issue · comments

Installer doesn’t understand XFS and only offers to format pre-existing partitions, without the ability to use them, which makes migrating /home more difficult.

As for file system creation and mount options, both Arch’s Wiki and XFS own FAQ recommend sticking to defaults.

I'm curious, has there been any word on whether this is coming in the near future, if at all?

I highly doubt it'd be in Solus 4, and I'm still not convinced that I want to support this. We make a desktop OS not a server one.

A'ight :D Thanks for the input!

Would there XFS support? Coz XFS & F2FS support already exist for Clear Linux. Also clr-boot-manager supports xfs, f2fs, btrfs....
