Assuming /dev/sdc1 is part of the RAID, why are you trying to mount just it? I read /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd to be volumes "backed" by hardware RAID, individual drives not visible.
Yes, the RAID controller assembles, in this case 36 14-TB SAS disks, into two volumes: /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. The volumes are each GPT labeled and partitions created as /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1. mkfs.xfs is then used to create the two filesystems. mkfs.ext4 worked okay, which leads me to think that mkfs.xfs or something in the XFS libraries is broken.
The system is remote (I'm teleworking), but I'll go in to day and try a couple of things, like booting a 15.1 rescue ISO to see if can mount the partitions. If it can't, I'll try the 15.1 mkfs.xfs and see what happens.
Obviously 15.2 mkfs.xfs works elsewhere, I installed it a couple of days ago on a high-end gamer laptop and used XFS on its /home partition. BTW, the 15.2 install on that laptop was the easiest SuSE install, on a laptop, that I've ever done. The special function keys for volume and screen brightness worked, NetworkManager seamlessly works with wired and WiFi too! I've seen only one small issue, where settings in a konsole window, like font-size/background-color aren't persistent. Setting changes don't survive logout/login. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for the explanation. I'm still a bit confused though. Your bug report is about installation but what you're discussing appears to be a problem creating an xfs filesystem? But you haven't shown any details of that creation.
