You mean on that primary partition that acts as a container for other partitions?
yes No, I don't thinks so. of course yes. I just verified this is a YaST option, and I use it just now Maybe the first stage, using the
available 512 bytes less whatever, but that is all, and grub needs way more. The next stages have to go elsewere.
Info grub says: "PART-NUM represents the partition number of DEVICE, starting from zero for primary partitions and from four for extended partitions, and BSD-SUBPART-LETTER represents the BSD disklabel subpartition, (...) so extended is possible. (see also below) However I didn't try this with XFS file system. I may try this on virtualbox - I need to know to include this in the partition HOWTO thanks jdd (...) `xfs_stage1_5' These are called "Stage 1.5", because they serve as a bridge between `stage1' and `stage2', that is to say, Stage 1.5 is loaded by Stage 1 and Stage 1.5 loads Stage 2. The difference between `stage1' and `*_stage1_5' is that the former doesn't understand any filesystem while the latter understands one filesystem (e.g. `e2fs_stage1_5' understands ext2fs). So you can move the Stage 2 image to another location safely, even after GRUB has been installed. While Stage 2 cannot generally be embedded in a fixed area as the size is so large, Stage 1.5 can be installed into the area right after an MBR, or the boot loader area of a ReiserFS or a FFS. (...) Support multiple filesystem types Support multiple filesystem types transparently, plus a useful explicit blocklist notation. The currently supported filesystem types are "BSD FFS", "DOS FAT16 and FAT32", "Minix fs", "Linux ext2fs", "ReiserFS", "JFS", "XFS", and "VSTa fs". *Note Filesystem::, for more information. -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
