Subject: GRUB support status?
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 18:48:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081018184821.4fea2215@diego-desktop> (raw)
What's the status of GRUB ext4 support? SVN says[1] that GRUB2 -which is
a development project with no stable version- has ext4 support, but the
only commit I could find[2] only seems to add extent support. Will that
be enought?
There's also a parallel GSoC project[3] from opensuse that seems to have
added[4] ext4 support to Grub (the Grub "legacy" versions which most of
the distros are using).
Which one is prefered? Or it's better to keep using ext3 on /boot until
grub support improves? (PD: I've modified the ext4 HOWTO wiki page adding
some information about all this)
