Anyone know why RC1 suddenly says it won't boot if I make /boot and XFS partition? I've been running XFS as a /boot partition since 10.3 with no problems and never noticed this message before. I'm installing now and don't know if it will or won't work but will let everyone know.
I presume there is a change in code that has meant this message now presents itself?
Because it randomly hangs GRUB during install (and sometimes during update on a working system) and has done for about 3 years; nobody fixed it and Ubuntu and Debian and everyone else have had this warning available. It is apparently down to the way XFS buffers, sometimes it will commit to disk before GRUB needs the data, sometimes it will not - depending on your CPU, disk controller, disk, caching, other filesystem mounts, features etc. it acts very differently. -- Matt Sealey <matt@genesi-usa.com> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
