Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 18:48:21 +0200 From: Diego Calleja <diegocg@...il.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: GRUB support status? 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) [1]: http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/grub2/NEWS?root=grub&view=diff&r1=1794&r2=1795 [2]: http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc?view=rev&root=grub&revision=1699 [3]: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/suse/appinfo.html?csaid=91DC4C762E7EE6D7 [4]: http://code.google.com/p/grub4ext4/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
