#8 doesn't work with xfs

[Marcus Frischherz]

I have a partition on an external USB hd, which uses
xfs as filesystem. The simple mount command can detect
this alright, i.e., if it appears as /dev/sdc2, and
/dev/sdc2 is not in /etc/fstab, I can issue mount
/dev/sdc2 /mnt just fine. However, subfs does not
manage to mount it, even if I include fs=xfs in the
fstab, which I don't want to, anyway. I always get the
messages:
May 18 21:21:12 frifri kernel: VFS: Can't find ext2
filesystem on dev sdc2.
May 18 21:21:12 frifri submountd: mount failure,
Invalid argument
May 18 21:21:12 frifri kernel: VFS: Can't find a Minix
or Minix V2 filesystem on device sdc2.
May 18 21:21:12 frifri kernel: subfs: unsuccessful
attempt to mount media (256)
May 18 21:21:13 frifri kernel: FAT: bogus number of FAT
structure
May 18 21:21:13 frifri kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid
FAT filesystem on dev sdc2.
May 18 21:21:13 frifri kernel: VFS: Can't find ext2
filesystem on dev sdc2.
May 18 21:21:13 frifri kernel: VFS: Can't find a Minix
or Minix V2 filesystem on device sdc2.
May 18 21:21:13 frifri submountd: mount failure,
Invalid argument
May 18 21:21:13 frifri kernel: subfs: unsuccessful
attempt to mount media (256)

why is submount only trying vfat, minix and ext2? Why
does the fs=xfs not work? Or is there some deamon I
have to restart after a change in fstab? And why did
noone bother to answer to my question in the help
forum, two weeks ago?

Try adding xfs to /etc/filesystems.
