None of these file systems are officially supported by the Fedora Project. (That means that you can use them, but you won’t find a lot of official help from the Fedora Project if things go wrong.) At the installer prompt, type this for ReiserFS: linux reiserfs or this for JFS: linux jfs or this for XFS: linux xfs NOTE: You cannot use SELinux on ReiserFS or JFS. XFS is OK. (If you don’t know what SELinux is, you can ignore this warning.) (Thanks to whiprush [quoting Jesse Keating] for this. Thanks to Kai Thomsen for catching an important typo. Thanks to Colin Charles for the XFS part and the SELinux warning.) From: Max Kanat-Alexander http://www.fedorafaq.
