However, you do not need a boot partition, except on some specific situations - and you have not described any of those being your case (some types of RAID, LVM...)-
Having separate /boot with simple filesystem like ext2 is more robust. I have seen cases when grub failed to read ext4 after unclean shutdown because it does not use journal replay.
That, as some around here love to say, would be a reportable bug ;-) Actually, I do have a boot partition, but simply because I did the partitioning when it was still recommended to have a separate boot. For some partition types it has been a necessity at times: for instance, xfs. Reiserfs also requires a separate boot, not for booting, but for thawing from hibernation (there is a bugzilla on that). At some point it broke, grub having difficulties to reconstruct the reiserfs journal on memory. So yes, I have to agree that having a separate boot may be safer and allows coverage of more cases. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
