Feature changed by: Robert Davies (robopensuse) Feature #306028, revision 13 Title: A log structured filesystem like nilfs as root file-system for SSD based devices openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) reject date: 2009-06-24 12:31:45 reject reason: Out of scope for 11.2 Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Nikanth K (nikanth) Description: A log structured file-system like nilfs as root file-system to use on SSDs. Currently GRUB does not have support for those file-systems. So may be an option to have LILO for those configurations or add support for those in GRUB. Relations: - feature/duplicate: 306585 Discussion: #4: Nikanth K (nikanth) (2009-05-07 14:36:45) Another option would be to have a /boot partition(or disk) and allow the root partition(or disk) as nilfs(or btrfs). I guess this should require only YaST changes. No LILO support required. + #6: Robert Davies (robopensuse) (2009-11-30 20:19:17) (reply to #4) + No changes needed to YaST, I do the small (ext2 with 4k blocks & few + inodes) via Custom Paritioning and then copy files to a "shared" /boot + partition after an install. + lilo(8) is indeed not required.  So all this needs is support of nilfs + in the kernel, expert partitioner and a nilfs-tools package analagous + to reiserfs(8) (would have mentioned btrfs or ext4 but they seem to + have funked the man pages). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306028
