I just saw this bug, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459792, that reports a problem in OpenSUSE with Grub being unable to boot with XFS when someone upgraded from OpenSuSE11.0 to OpenSuSE11.1. Quote: Grub is unable to start if /boot is on xfs partition. Found after updating from 11.0 to 11.1. Response from Novell: ------- Comment #1 From Jiri Srain (jsrain(at)novell(dot)com) 2008-12-18 04:24:39 MST ------- We agreed with product management that /boot on XFS will not be a supported bootloader scenario. See relevant thread on factory to see explanations; successful booting from XFS is just a pure luck. Perhaps if Grub can't support XFS, the default bootloader should be upgraded to 'lilo' -- as it still seems to be maintained and still supports high performance file systems like XFS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
