Hi Andreas,

As mentioned, XFS is not supported on 32 bit systems.

So you can check that:
# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep XFS
(no xfs support on 32 bit)

Therefore, I would recommend you to use SL6 x86_64.

Otherwise build your own kernel with xfs support. (not recommended)

Best regards,

Morten
