But those read-only drivers are incomplete and problematic, especially as filesystems get more complex. I've been bitten before by an ill-timed unclean shutdown, where an update was still in the /boot ext4 journal but not comitted, so the system would not boot, because the GRUB2 ext4 driver doesn't read the journal. There should be _less_ put into GRUB2 filesystem support IMHO, not more. No more complex filesystems; keep /boot something simple like ext2 that GRUB2 can reasonably be expected to handle basically 100%, possibly mounted read-only during normal operation, mount with "sync", and with all updates as atomic as practical. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
