You do realize your proposal to default to lilo if xfs is used totally hoses users of dmraid right?
Um...AFAIK, raid was in use long before grub was around. I would think it would be workable with lilo, BUT, what you are asking is not relevant. If xfs isn't supported with grub, then you can't use xfs with dmraid when booting from grub. So your point is irrelevant, though your tone, in "presuming" that I am knowingly hosing some group of people does sound a bit 'aggressive'... Perhaps you should be more concerned that, if you are using xfs on top of dmraid with grub, eithe, you are already operating in an unsupported config because of a predisposition to grub hosing your xfs system, OR xfs on top of dmraid doesn't cause the same conflicts with grub that has had SuSE drop support for single partition XFS installations or XFS boot partitions. If grub doesn't stomp on dmraid with XFS on top of it, then, you realize the obvious solution would be to not move to lilo as a 'workaround' as the problem wouldn't exist in that situation. However, if the problem does exist...you are already operating in an unsupported configuration. There's no guarantee that it will continue working (which is usually what is meant by 'unsupported'). Perhaps you should express your concerns over the drop of XFS support due to grub's overwriting disk data, and hope your system doesn't become corrupt before the issue is fixed?
