I will be fixing kickstart when I get the chance to make this
requirement consistent. If your root filesystem is ext[234], see 'man
mke2fs.conf' and create yourself a profile in %pre which you can then
specify when defining your root filesystem (--fsprofile). If your
filesystem does not support such mechanisms, petition for similar
functionality. Anaconda has no plans to support user-specified arbitrary
mkfs options at this time.
