GRUB support status?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



What's the status of GRUB ext4 support? SVN says[1] that GRUB2 -which is
a development project with no stable version- has ext4 support, but the
only commit I could find[2] only seems to add extent support. Will that
be enought?

There's also a parallel GSoC project[3] from opensuse that seems to have
added[4] ext4 support to Grub (the Grub "legacy" versions which most of
the distros are using).

Which one is prefered? Or it's better to keep using ext3 on /boot until
grub support improves? (PD: I've modified the ext4 HOWTO wiki page adding
some information about all this)
