Hi all,

I'm attempting to cobble and kickstart a JFS partition for a KVM guest
running SL6.1 on a host that runs SL6.1, in the same way I would ext4 or
XFS. I'm using part and logvol to create partitions and logical volumes
under LVM and simply setting --fstype=jfs; this works fine for ext4 or XFS
but during the cobbled install on the guest, anaconda hangs at "Creating jfs
filesystem on /dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_main". Does KVM require the host OS to
have the JFS tools installed (i.e. mkfs.jfs) in order to format the
partition as JFS, or is this just not possible through cobbler/kickstart,
and will require downloading and installing the JFS tools after full OS
installation and reformatting at that stage?
