Description Kent Martin 2004-02-23 16:44:43 UTC

The defaults in /etc/fstab include xfs.  I believe that xfs should be there as a commented example and ext3 (which most people use) should be there as the default.

This amendment will increase the odds of new users getting a bootable system during an install.
