Once upon a time, Chris Murphy <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: > Read-only drivers, which are the only drivers under discussion here, aren't a per se problem because they can't modify the file system. So they have no complaints about that. But those read-only drivers are incomplete and problematic, especially as filesystems get more complex. I've been bitten before by an ill-timed unclean shutdown, where an update was still in the /boot ext4 journal but not comitted, so the system would not boot, because the GRUB2 ext4 driver doesn't read the journal. There should be _less_ put into GRUB2 filesystem support IMHO, not more. No more complex filesystems; keep /boot something simple like ext2 that GRUB2 can reasonably be expected to handle basically 100%, possibly mounted read-only during normal operation, mount with "sync", and with all updates as atomic as practical. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
