Please understand that this cannot be included in GRUB 2, at least as far as I am concerned. Although it is very nice to work on write support, it goes beyond the goal of a bootloader. If it is included in GRUB, it means we have to maintain it. We already have a lack of time to maintain the current code base. Besides that, there is little added value. While write support is *very* complex, can damage filesystems when there is a bug, etc. It's also a lot of work, even for a single filesystem. Why do you need write support? Perhaps there is another solution to the problem you are trying to fix? -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
