uuid support on grub2 status
Hi, I am intereested on reading uuid from ext2 partitions. I've been searching on grub2 source code and I suppose it is very similar to the fs->label function (or whatever it is), maybe only a transformation from binary UUID to ascii UUID is the only complicated thing to add. But before implementing anything... Has anyone worked on uuid support for ext2 on grub2? adrian15 ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

This year I will again try to participate in SoC. The rules are that you can not be a mentor and participate as a student at the same time, at least for SoC 2006. If this has not changed, I can not be a mentor. Perhaps I will try to work on GRUB 2 during summer of code, I read this is allowed, even for contributors, as long as you work on something new. -- Marco ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

No, but it is on the todo list. First we need generic interfaces for this. Support for this should not be limited to ext2. I even think this should not even be limited to filesystems, but sometimes partitions or even disks can have UUIDs too. In that case we should, IMO, make that information available as well. -- Marco ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
Native Endianess
I would like to propose a definition for "Native Endianess" The data has Native Endianess when a 32-bit read will return the correct value without byte swap. - Dan Weaver, ZNYX Networks [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
