Google Container Engine doesn't support XFS by default

10/18/2015

Any way around this. Trying to mount an XFS disk.

safe_format_and_mount: Running: mount -o discard,defaults /dev/disk/by-id/google-storage-disk /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/gce-pd/mounts/storage-disk

safe_format_and_mount: mount: you must specify the filesystem type

The default GKE nodes do not have XFS tools installed, though they do have the kernel module. If you manually install xfsprogs it should work, though it's probably not samething we'll install by default (trying to keep it very small)
