XFS filesystem: how to in Fedora 11?

Hi all.
I just jumped into the Fedora world coming from another mainstream distro.
In my current harddisk partition I have an XFS formatted partition that hosts my home directory.
As of now it seems that there's no support for XFS:
# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev cgroup
nodev cpuset
nodev binfmt_misc
nodev debugfs
nodev securityfs
nodev sockfs
nodev usbfs
nodev pipefs
nodev anon_inodefs
nodev tmpfs
nodev inotifyfs
nodev devpts
ext3
ext4
ext4dev
nodev ramfs
nodev hugetlbfs
iso9660
nodev mqueue
nodev selinuxfs
nodev rpc_pipefs

Is there an easy way to add such a support?
How to?
Thanks in advance.

Should be included by default. You tried mounting (as root user) the target partition as type XFS ???

That's not available during the installation!
But it works afterwards.
Is there any way to make an installation with XFS instead of EXT3/EXT4?.

Where's the vol_id tool?
The man page is there but not the tool.
And there seems not to be a volume_id package but only the libvolume_id.
Any hint?

***UPDATE***
Found!
locate vol_id
/lib/udev/vol_id

It's a weird place to put a system tool, isn't it?
