yup!, I successfully migrated my partions to xfs, except for my former / partion, it's
still ext2 and I want to
convert it to xfs to be use. But that error still give me a headache.

One more thing Sir Jijo, I'm trying to use quota on xfs, what are the workarounds to
to do this, I've tried putting
quota.user and quota.group to my /home partion and quotacheck and quotaon but I think
quota is not yet enable btw,
I've enable the quota and xfs quota in my kernel.
TIA
