mountd does not recognize xfs file systems

[fon@…]

My external storage uses the xfs file system. Since the xfs.ko kernel module is not shipped with the base image, I installed this manually.

However, the xfs partition does not automount even though the xfs module is loaded at runtime.

I tracked down the problem being with mountd only recognizing ext2, ext3, vfat, hfsplus and ntfs filesystems.

I propose that mount.c be patched so that unknown filesystems also are mounted, and let the kernel detect the filesystem (i.e. do not pass the -t flag).
