Hi Following on from recent goodwill discussions with Matt, here is another issue I'm bringing here for your attention.
The Grub page in LFS says this: "Note that the test results will always show the error ufs2_stage1_5 is too big. This is due to a compiler issue, but can be ignored unless you plan to boot from an UFS partition. The partitions are normally only used by Sun workstations." The recommendation to ignore the failure is misleading and dangerous. What actually happens is that the `size_test' script bails out on the first failure and thus doesn't test the remaining file systems (fat, e2fs, minix) 2 of which are clearly important. I've been using a sed to work around the issue: sed -i.bak '/ufs2/d' stage2/size_test LFS should address this somehow. I'll file a BZ so it doesn't get forgotten.
