I am confused, I have a single xfs partition sda1 for root and boot and I haven't experienced any booting problems. Same here, perhaps we are the ones called "lucky".
I had /boot (or / in case of no extra /boot) on XFS for what must have been two years, too, and can confirm you're just lucky. As I was during most of those two years.
My experience matches Stano's statement: You may be lucky, you may be not -- ultimately it's going to hit, so just don't do it. ;-)

It's only one box involved and that was after problems with ext3 and being advised on the list that booting from JFS wasn't guaranteed to work, however, I managed to get JFS to boot. EXT3 seemed too fragile earlier on, but I currently haven't run into subsequent problems with ext3. EXT4???? Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
