mount xfs formatted drive in LibreELEC

Hi,

Connected xfs formatted hard drive to LibreELEC but not showing hard drive. (SATA to USB cable for SSD drive in Rock64 running latest LibreELEC)

Please note: If I boot this in armbian - it is recognized & we can read/write data.

Is it possible to mount it?

Thanks in advance?

After checking the Linux kernel defconfig we use with RK boards it looks like we don't compile XFS support. We have support with other boards so it's an omission. It's been flagged to devs and should get fixed.

Thanks, Chewitt,

Great to hear that it will be included in the future (maybe in the next release) I do appreciate it.

Ya, another thing, if you want to release nightly builds for xfs support, I'm available to test

Thanks Chewitt,

XFS formatted hard drive works in the latest nightly built (nightly-20210311-3f55efc). Files can be copied using SMB as well as plays well.

This build has two problems (not related to XFS):

(1) Rock64 - not providing 1440p resolution for 32" monitor. (Actually all LE10-nightly)

(2) LibreElec repository broken. Kodi repository works.

I will report on another thread but just mentioning here.
