So, to me, this is the bug. GRUB claims to read XFS, but it only reads XFS in certain states (and doesn't throw an error if the filesystem is in any other state, just fails). If GRUB can't read XFS in the common reasonable states, then it shouldn't claim XFS support, and Fedora shouldn't be using XFS for any filesystem GRUB needs to read. That IMHO would mean one of: - fix GRUB to be able to handle the XFS journal in some form - change Fedora so that if there's a /boot, it gets ext2 - change Fedora so that otherwise, don't use XFS for / I understand not handling significant filesystem errors, but "file is in the journal" shouldn't be one of them. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
