Revised patch to work round grub installer hangs with XFS
New patch that does something sensible if it can't remount /boot
read-only/read-write
I recently found that the latest grub install from anaconda is actually writing directly to /boot's block device -while- /boot is mounted. Not at all good. invoking grub> install with the "--stage2=/boot/grub/stage2" option prevents this, and may alleviate some of xfs's woes. Anaconda disallows boot on xfs now anyway I think, so maybe this is a moot point.... This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks. I guess this can be closed, as RedHat doesn't support XFS anyway ... |
