Good day.
Hello.
I want to ask you about reiser4 and grub-2. I am try to write to Yuriy Umanets but his mailboxes are inactive... Some few days ago I findes his request about this. (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-02/msg00263.html) If it is possible, can you describe current state of Raiser4 support in Grub2.
Unsupported.
As I know this task yet placed in Grub's TODO list. I hope this idea yet alive.
I didn't look at grub2/fs interface yet, but believe that it is better then grub1's one. There is a patch for reiser4 support in grub1. I don't think it will be a big problem to adjust this one for grub2: the sources are quite understandable. The only thing I am unhappy with is that it can not boot reiser4 via module stage1_5 (it is too big and can not fit in 62 sectors), It means that user will need to re-install grub every time after defragmentation (currently unsupported, but upcoming). So it would be nice to resolve this problem in grub2 somehow. Btrfs stage1_5 module with multi-device support successfully fits in 62 sectors. Why reiser4 can not? I think we need to get rid of the mini-library with a lot of unneeded functions and put everything in one file (as other file systems do). Thanks, Edward.
