Kernel from raspberrypi/firmware doesn't have XFS support built-in, which F22 server uses for rootfs about rpi2-fedora-image-builder HOT 3 OPEN

I must admit that I have not tried this with the Fedora Server image, which used the XFS root filesystem.

Know that I think about it, I checked the defconfig for the kernel that raspberrypi has in their kernel repo:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-4.0.y/arch/arm/configs/bcm2709_defconfig

CONFIG_XFS=m is a problem as the raspberrypi bootloader doesn't support a separate initramfs.
I need to issue a PR to the upstream raspberrypi linux repo to change that to CONFIG_XFS=y so the needed support will be built-in the kernel.

In the meantime, all the other armhfp images for F22 use ext4 still and should work. I suggest going with minimal and adding the software you need from there.

Thanks for the response spartacus06,
Yes you are right, I think it's the best option to go to F22 Minimal.
I though it could be fun to play with F22 Server to look how it is other than in VM, but I will wait for the next round ;)
Thank you.
