  • get the xfsprogs rpm from centosplus that provide these

cd xfsprogs
rpm2cpio ../xfsprogs.rpm |cpio -ivd
mkdir -p ./usr/sbin
cp ./sbin/mkfs.xfs ./usr/sbin
chmod +x ./usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs
cp ./sbin/fsck.xfs ./usr/sbin
chmod +x ./usr/sbin/fsck.xfs
mksquashfs usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs usr/sbin/fsck.xfs ../minstg2.img -all-root -no-fragments
