Hello everyone,
I'm about to take the leap into 11.1;
Is it true that I can no longer boot from an XFS partition? Has this been cut out of the kernel?
Does anyone have any info on this?
Thank you,

I have 11.1 with xfs and it has never been a problem. You have to install grub in the mbr as xfs uses too much of the first sector on the drive to allow grub. If you don't want any problems with your install create a small boot partition of ext3 but if you upgrade an xfs partition and know what you're doing you shouldn't have a problem. Regards Dave P
Wouldn't ext2 be better for /boot? IIRC, ext3 requires a significant amount of space for the journal and doesn't provide much benefit for a small boot partition. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
