Adding a new filesystem must be conservative as well. Normally, I don't object to adding a new filesystem, but we must test it thouroughly before adding it. The most important thing is a mount function. In fact, there was a problem that the mount function in XFS used a opcode supported only in recent processors, so that made GRUB useless for users having old processors (such as 80486DX), even when they didn't use XFS in their machines. Also, adding a new filesystem might look trivial, but that still requires modifications of some existing (important) files. So you need to be careful as much as when adding a completely new feature. It's a fault of the current implementation of GRUB. Okuji _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
