Subject: [RFD] Support for installing on XFS partition?
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2016 12:16:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <da85ac05-a404-bb23-5bdf-4fa81f78b556@gmail.com> (raw)
Syslinux MBR supports booting off XFS partition by adjusting PBR offset
(see
http://repo.or.cz/syslinux.git/commit/4298786ca19e9121568ecd4cc8b79d276ccfd24a).
Is it worth to support? This can only work if Syslinux MBR is actually
installed, so it would give false sense success in all other cases. OTOH
this could enable chainloading off XFS by explicitly loading PBR from
this offset using - probably, any - bootloader.
