Greetings! I want to have several small partitions exclusively for hosting grub2 bootloaders for massive multibooting (through chainloading). I install many distributions on a single btrfs partition (multiple subvolumes), and create many small partitions for easily managing their bootloaders. (Also, EFI is unusable on my hardware, so this is the easiest way.)
However, I can not find out which filesystem they must be formatted in. I've tried all common filesystems, and none of them "support embedding". I'd be fine without formatting them at all, just installing grub2 on raw partitions, but that doesn't work either, even with --force parameter. (Also, I don't think os-prober in my main installation will find them this way). The only applicable filesystem seems to be btrfs, but it's hard (if even possible) to make btrfs partitions only few megabytes in size, as btrfs allocates space by big chunks. Which filesystems can I use for this case? I don't care if the filesystem itself is unusable after this - I only need it as a workaround to have grub2 installed and detected by os-prober. -- darkpenguin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
