Another XFSv5 feature missing from GRUB, introduced by kernel 4.2 [1] and mkfs.xfs 4.2.0 (-i sparse=0|1) [2]. It is disabled by default in mkfs.xfs up to current xfsprogs 4.7.0-rc and kernel code is experimental, thus not widely used. But in kernel 4.8 will be marked as stable [3] and I guess mkfs.xfs will not take long to enable it by default.
GRUB does not work with volumes created with "-i sparse=1": (Xubuntu 16.04, 2.02-beta2 plus 1570140, a139188, d3ffeb9, b6e80c7, ff3c200, 049dcfa) https://paste.fedoraproject.org/396243/ Savannah bug: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48645 [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e5376fc15acdd6b03b6d5223391842717148f0d7 [2] http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=xfs/cmds/xfsprogs.git;a=commitdiff;h=6003fd816c2e0c4ec2b6352571e14765cca62d07 [3] http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2016-07/msg00445.html _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
