[opensuse-factory] Grub2 with XFS in root and no /boot ?
Hi, should it be possible to have XFS in the root partition without separate /boot partition, when using grub2? Here is why I'm asking: I downloaded the Net-Install-CD: openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20140619-Media.iso I booted a VMware VM from it. The VM has 1 GB RAM and a 60 GB disk. I partitioned: sda1 512 MB swap sda2 59.5 GB / xfs Then installed default KDE selection. There are 2 things: 1) When the machine has only 1 GB RAM, installation of bootloader gives no error, but after reboot system hangs in grub2 shell complaining: error: not a correct XFS inode. error: attempt to read or write outside of oartition. error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/xxxxx' not found I'm not sure, what xxxxx was. When I use ls (hd0,msdos2)/ it complains: error: not a correct XFS inode. error: attempt to read or write outside of oartition. error: not a correct XFS inode. 2) When system has 2 GB RAM, installing bootloader gives an error, giving the chance to do it again. But that also does not work. rebooting gives the same problems as above. In this case the missing file xxxxx is normal.mod. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

In general yes, but right now it's broken since YaST creates the
XFS filesystem with version 5 superblocks. It's reported as
(internal only, sorry):

The last comment says it should be fixed but whether the fix is
already included in openSUSE and works I cannot say.

Thats a reason ;) Obviously not fixed in that snapshot. Thanks Arvin. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Is it going to be fixed in grub2 code? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This is solved in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory So it should be in next sync of http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter
