work, but it may not. 1st stage needs to contain the block numbers of the

The ones below which you marked as Bad cannot work at all. The OKs below shall
work without any problems.

ok guys.
i´m little confused. what do you recommend? should i use XFS, or
shouldn´t?
I think this is the sum-up:
- If there is no separate /boot partition and / is xfs
- grub is in MBR --> OK.

- grub is in / --> Bad.
- If there is a separate /boot partition (recommended ext2)
and / is xfs
- grub is in MBR --> OK.
- grub is in /boot --> OK.
- grub is in / --> Bad.
- If any non / partition is xfs (and thus, does not hold grub) --> OK.
