Description Magnus Boman 2007-08-05 23:33:15 UTC

I went in to the Partitioner to format one of my drives with XFS. After hitting Apply, I get an error message (see attached screenshot) telling me that mkfs.xfs does not exist.
The partitioner should, in this case, offer to install the missing packages (in this case, xfsprog) instead of giving me an error message.
Attaching YaST logs as well.

Extended yast2-storage to install packages needed for formatting of filesystems.
Fix will be in beta#2.
