Besides, you cannot install a boot record onto XFS, so you always need a second partition
Some have had this problem. I have never had this issue. My root (and boot) partition are xfs.
It is a documented and known problem.
Yes -- a documented problem in Grub. Not in XFS. SuSE maintainers thought GRUB was more important than the ability to use 1 file system for all your file systems.
Personally, I disagree, since it is GRUB that is doing things, that were documented as being problematic, since before GRUB was even conceived.
Personally I don't miss the days of forgetting to run lilo after every kernel update and being greeted with LILILILILILI or whatever it was.
But as long as one runs lilo...
Lilo should be taken out back and shot. This is even more true as more file systems are developed that lilo can't possibly ever work with, like btrfs.
I thought LILO is file-system agnostic? And LILO is the only possible way to use a brand-new file-system, whenever a new file-system comes out, till GRUB learns the format?!
