* Torsten, why is the postinstall needed this way?
Because someone insisted to support booting Linux from xfs, which was never designed for that purpose. Grub does not use bmap(), but its own FS code on the raw disk. * Linux xfs is extremely lazy writing back dirty data * Linux buffer caches are not coherent (/dev/sda does not include /dev/sda1) The whole magic was needed to get stage2 onto the disk, so it can get modified in-place. Seems like someone broke the detection logic. This bug needs to be reassigned accordingly, or boot from XFS declared unsupported. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
