reiserfs did not work from the partitioner, so I added a comment to
the bugzilla about that.

xfs did.  Surprisingly, xfs_admin -L from the command line would not
handle it being mounted, so this is a case where the partitioner is
more flexible than the CLI tool.

I did not test fat, ntfs, jfs, etc.  So at this point we have 2
successes (ext3 and xfs) and 2 failures (reiserfs and swap).

I guess I should update the FATE entry with that info.
