No, you don't understand... GRUB can be made to work. And XFS has clear advantages in certain situations. So xfsprogs needs to be on the CD anyways, so having XFS on /boot will not require any extra space.
It should be possible to use a single filesystem type on all your devices. Please note, other distro like Fedora have XFS on boot working, so this probably is a Debian/Ubuntu specific bug. -- ubiquity does not allow xfs on /boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
