Hi, xfsprogs 4.16.0 defaults to enabling "sparse inode" which is not compatible with GRUB.
Downstream bug in Fedora, grub-probe fails so grub-install can't work; and on systems with an already properly installed core.img with XFS support, it can't read an XFS file system with this feature set. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575797 Make them default https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg16598.html Change description, page 48 https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/xfs/docs/xfs_filesystem_structure.pdf It'd be helpful to know the approximate time frame for getting this fixed, to know whether for Fedora 29 /boot on XFS should be inhibited until a proper tested patch for GRUB exists.
