It's too bad. :-( The patched GRUB > would have actually made it into F11 if the maintainer had bothered. The changes weren't ready and tested by the feature freeze and so weren't present in the beta. An exception for the critical code that is the boot path wasn't really deemed safe enough, especially as it would have also impacted things for users of an ext3 /boot[1]. Jeremy [1] The grub filesystem code uses the same code for ext2, ext3, and ext4 with the patch. Therefore the change would have impacted all of them rather than just "adding ext4" -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
