If we can arrange things so we only have a single installer with different install targets (at least for the net install), I'd consider the reduction in testing effort at least worthy of argument at being more valuable than the filesystem choice. Question for the cloud folks: I realize that XFS is a difficult pill to swallow for /boot, due to your use of syslinux instead of GRUB2. If the Server and Workstation groups decide to settle on both using XFS-on-LVM for the main partitions, we could *probably* also compromise on using ext4 for just /boot. Directed more broadly at all three products: Formal proposal (for discussion): All three products agree to use ext4 for /boot and XFS-on-LVM for all other partitions in the "guided" mode. All is fair game in the "custom" mode. Also, for the sake of everyone's sanity, as we discuss this specific proposal, let's hold the conversation to devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (making this the last cross-posted message in the thread). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlMPMwkACgkQeiVVYja6o6OMDgCgpflR85zdgCFaGKPRp1z8WUnI ZbAAoJT2KdC5Pzx6XTo7Ju+x+PO+g13X =q//v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
