This is a multi-boot machine, I use it to support over 200 users and I have about 5 or 6 different distros installed. All the root partitions are formatted as ext4 except one which has the XFS filesystem on it.
I processed the latest update to the current kernel and decided to get rid of a couple of earlier versions still hanging around. When processing the changes in Synaptic, I happened to turn on the "Details" drop down and noticed an unusual warning condition. When the Grub update is processing it lists the various other installs as it probes them but the one with an XFS filesystem gets a message that says:
Code: Select all
failed to probe /dev/sda6 for filesystem type
This is not a problem as such in that I just make sure one of the other distro's Grub is installed in the MBR but I was not aware of this before and find it VERY strange that it would be the case? XFS is a significant player in the Linux filesystem world.
Just wondering - perhaps someone could clarify please?
