This approach has a drawback of needing to manually add new filesystems to yet another list but it has a safeguqrd to install only on configurations which we have tested. If user needs to install to another FS he can test and submit a patch. The only problem I see is if FS is in grub-extras. In this case grub-setup wouldn't be able to identify it and would fail installing to prevent FS damage. This is part of larger problem of grub-utils with external modules. As a possibility grub-setup can ask host OS about the target filesystem (cumbersome) or we could implement module loading in grub-setup (using shared library approach perhaps?) > -- > Regards, > Pavel Roskin > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >
