Yes, you can boot from a nilfs root partition by including nilfs module in initrd. Try mkinitrd or mkinitramfs depending on your distro. We also have in-tree kernel patches, but they're maintained in an experimental tree of Linux (so-called -mm tree). The patch set does not have support for past kernel versions. So, try the initrd first. Cheers, Ryusuke _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://www.nilfs.org/mailman/listinfo/users
