| Fixed In Version: | grub2-2.02-0.66.el7 | Doc Type: | Enhancement |
| Doc Text: |
Feature: Enable grub2 support to read from XFS filesystems with new filesystem features.
Reason: When XFS adds new features, they add a feature flag for each, to tell code reading the filesystem that it needs to either implement those features, or that they're there but safe to ignore. When grub2 reads the filesystem, it needs to know about these.
Result: We can continue to be able to boot off of the filesystems created during system installation.

The patch at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1225746 looks correct to me; I don't see why it would cause any errors like "no symbol table". I suspect that's caused by something unrelated that was hit incidentally in building or deploying test packages. Reproduced on RHEL-7.3 GA using both methods described in the bug - using rear and changing the fs UUID. Retested using the same steps on RHEL-7.6 with grub2-2.02-0.73.el7 and rear-2.4-1.el7 and this issue is not reproducible any more. Moving to VERIFIED. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:3264 |
