Have the same pb too.
Indeed xfs is not running.
But after several reboots the result is the same.
So I would reinstall XFree86-xfs but rpm says
'package already installed' and stops.
When I do an rpm -e XFree86-xfs....... then rpm says
'package NOT installed' !
By an rpm -q XFree86-xfs... rpm says
'package not installed'.
An rpm --rebuilddb failed also.
What can I do ?
