Thanks. Apparently there is XFS support in Grub 2 as well, which is where all development is now taking place. I hope it receives adequate testing and attention before distributions start using Grub 2. I'll gladly volunteer to be part of the beta testing once Grub 2 (and its XFS support) reaches the point of being available for general use and beta testing. Also, I've added a note to the Debian bug report on this subject, referring to this thread.
