Re: New Idea - can GRUB also write on file systems ?

[OKUJI Yoshinori]

  That is not a new idea. Several persons have requested the feature,
but I'm not enthusiastic with that, since that's difficult. Writing a
file or directory to a filesystem is much more complicated than
reading a file or directory from a filesystem. And, of course, it will
bring up many security-related issues. We will also have to ensure
that it is enough robust. Then, must we give the user fsck and/or
defrag? All of these seems like a nightmare.
