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?
