It also might be a problem with `mount` command, but if you say you can mount it normally after the system is live, it looks not to be the case. XFS doesn't control who and how it reads the entries in fstab. As stated in `mount` manpage: "If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is specified, mount will try to guess the desired type. Mount uses the blkid library for guessing the filesystem type; if that does not turn up anything that looks familiar, mount will try to read the file /etc/filesystems, or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems. All of the filesystem types listed there will be tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev" (e.g. devpts, proc and nfs). If /etc/filesystems ends in a line with a single *, mount will read /proc/filesystems afterwards. While trying, all filesystem types will be mounted with the mount option silent." Anyway, if you have the logs from your system when it tries to mount the partition maybe it give us some clue of what is happening.
