In my ks.cfg, I'm defining my partitions as follows:

part /var --fstype ext3 --size=2048
part swap --size=512
part /var/opt/ariel/audio --fstype xfs --size=100 --grow
One of my custom packages installs a file into the
/var/opt/ariel/database directory, so it needs to be available at
install time. However, the xfs partitions are not being mounted during
the install. I've even tried mounting them manually in the ks.cfg %pre
section using 'mount /tmp/hda5 /mnt/sysimage/var/opt/ariel/database'.
Even that attempt at a nasty hack didn't work.
The end result of this problem is that the database file that I need
isn't there when I reboot unless I _un_mount the partition where it's
supposed to be.
Does anyone have experience with getting anaconda to mount xfs partitions?
Thanks,

Well, after fighting with this for an entire day reading through and
hacking at anaconda source code, I finally managed to figure out the
root of the problem: xfs isn't in /proc/filesystems. However, I'm still
stuck as to how to fix this. I've got xfs support on the computer that
I'm building on, and xfs is definitely in my /proc/filesystems. Where
does anaconda get this file? I've been unable to figure out how to
modify it. I'm starting to get frustrated, as this is the last step to
having a working install cd for me. Any help?
Thanks,
-Brent
