Stanislav it is only warning. It inform you that it is not good idea. GNU GRUB bootloader can't be installed on a XFS partition, because both need sector 0. -> this is cause of warning ;-) It can happend that it works but you can never be sure. Guys, I've posted this same problem to the dev mailing list and understand this was a drive to give warnings about configurations that may be a problem. Since you say above that it is ONLY a warning do you think we can change the wording to 'may' not work instead of 'will' not work? There are at least 3 others on the list doing exactly what it says won't work and have been doing so for many years so obviously it's not entirely correct. Or is there a really good reason that we don't know of that this should absolutely not be done? I think it´s good idea to change "will" to "may". Users won´t be confused. It seems that grub works with XFS if installed in the MBR and it was stated that this can cause a problem on certain laptops. Shouldn't the warning reflect this information rather than discouraging people from using XFS? *** Bug 457102 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I agree and I can change it in next release or SP because of textfreeze There exist other bug where is described also problem with XFS and some type of partitioning of disk. I propose select the bug like duplicate of bug #469535 and add comment that warning message about using XFS have to be rewritten and check more bootloader settings e.g. location etc. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 469535 *** |
Created attachment 256337 [details] snapshot The /boot directory is on na XFS filesystem. System will not boot. This issue should be fixed, although system booted after installation. Attached snapshot and yast logs.
