[ale] Fedora grousing

[Beddingfield, Allen]

The last time I tried to do an XFS based "/" on RHEL 6.x, it complained that XFS was not allowed for /.

I'm no avid Red Hat fan (more of a SUSE guy), but I'm glad to hear that they are FINALLY putting in some proper support for XFS as the default filesystem in 7.x...at least that is what I have heard.  We've been using XFS for everything except /boot on SLES for years now....with no additional charge, and no restrictions about it being used for /.  I hope they will finally make this a possibility with RHEL.

XFS has been an option since early RHEL6 for anything BUT /boot. I'll be happy when they backport the fix for ext4 to support common drive array sizes (bigger than 14TB) . OK, so I just throw XFS at them but it's a fix that should have been done 2 years ago.
