ok guys. i´m little confused. what do you recommend? should i use XFS, or shouldn´t?
I think this is the sum-up:
- If there is no separate /boot partition and / is xfs - grub is in MBR --> OK.
Not really, see Josef's mail (and quotation of the documentation). It may work, but it may not. 1st stage needs to contain the block numbers of the filesystem driver, which may be a problem with XFS. The ones below which you marked as Bad cannot work at all. The OKs below shall work without any problems. Jiri
- grub is in / --> Bad. - If there is a separate /boot partition (recommended ext2) and / is xfs - grub is in MBR --> OK. - grub is in /boot --> OK. - grub is in / --> Bad. - If any non / partition is xfs (and thus, does not hold grub) --> OK.
