You might be able to do it via AutoYaST, but I haven't tried that, so I can't 
be sure.  What you could do, and will likely work just fine, is to SSH in to 
the system, start YaST and activate your DASD.  Then, SSH in again, modprobe 
xfs, partition the disks the way you want, and put an XFS file system on them.  
Then, proceed with the YaST session and tell the partitioner to not format 
those partitions, just mount them where you want them.

What ever you do, please open up a service request with whomever you have your 
support contract.  I would like to get this as a customer reported problem to 
give it a higher priority than one opened up internally.


Thanks,
