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.

Same at https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=12733
Comment 5 Peter Jones 2018-06-04 17:48:32 UTC 
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.
Comment 8 Jan Stodola 2018-07-19 15:20:44 UTC 
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.
