Does XFS work?

Hello
I'm new user of this device, recently acquired, I'm very happy with this Arch distribution, It works great, stable, fast and comfortable

But I'm having the following problem trying to use an external XFS drive, because the kernel doesn't support it. -this is that i think- when I run the mount command for this drive, I get....
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'm')ount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs'

Try modprobe xfs

I created a new partition on sdcard (only 100Mb for testing), and after ran:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[menos16@alarm ~]$sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/mmcblk0p3
meta-data=/dev/mmcblk0p3 isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=6096 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=0
data = bsize=4096 blocks=24381, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks
naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=1200, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0

[menos16@alarm ~]$ sudo modprobe xfs
[menos16@alarm ~]$ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/xfstest
mount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs'')

and the dmesg shows any extrange message

Does
mount -t xfs /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/xfstest
work?

[menos16]

yes...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[menos16@alarm ~]$ sudo mount -t xfs /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/xfstest
mount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs'')

someone can try to mount an empty/small partition of XFS??

I don't know if this problem only happens to me.

[menos16]

I have been trying with other file system and the problem doesn't appear only with XFS, also with minix,jfs and reiser

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[menos16@alarmr ~]$ sudo mkfs.minix /dev/mmcblk0p3
21856 inodes
65535 blocks
Firstdatazone=696 (696)
Zonesize=1024
Maxsize=268966912

[menos16@alarm ~]$ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/almacen/temporales/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'minix'')

and the same for the others; but with ext2/3/4/4dev works fine....
Is this kernel's bug??
