Are there any good reasons why there cannot be supported boot configurations :

Shouldn't be a problem.

Ditto.
3) ReiserFS, currently somewhat broken; fix desireable 4) LVM, currently "exotic"; direct support desirable 5) btrfs, currently "exotic"; direct support desirable
I _think_ they all work with lilo, please correct me.
btrfs is copy-on-write, which naturally introduces lots of fragmentation. As a way to combat this, it has an online repacker. Even if your system is able to boot immediately, that block map can become inaccurate at seemingly random times. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksiaH4ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7Lp8wCfXrlsFWih5eushVdwNxsk4uJw N8QAnRXpWuWdzNgpDQvf7/MGP2oMiL+V =pxd1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
