Public bug reported: When I installed Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 (Jaunty) off the LiveCD, it allowed me to mount everything, including /boot on XFS, I assumed that Grub had stopped being stupid in Ubuntu and finally allowed you to boot off XFS, and proceeded to install, the installer of course bombed out with failure to install Grub.
There's really no reason Grub cannot boot XFS, Mandriva 2009 can do it for example, but if Grub has to be stupid, the user should be warned. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubiquity fails to inform user of inability to use /boot on XFS partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
