Bug#436943: Info received (out of partition with XFS)

[Dan Callahan]

I've created a raw filesystem that exhibits this error. It can be
found at http://neoflux.net/tmp/xfs-boot.tar.gz (8.9 MB compressed,
243 MB uncompressed, link should remain active through August.)

When mounted as a loopback device in grub-emu, ls (device) should
detect that it is xfs-formatted, while ls (device)/ will fail due to
"out of partition".

This file was created with the Debian Lenny Beta 2 Business Card ISO,
on a VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta 1 virtual machine. It was created by:

1. Start expert installation and continue as per normal.
2. Partition as LVM, whole disk, all files on one partition.
3. Change the / and /boot partition types to xfs.
4. Continue until you reach the "Install [GRUB/LILO] Bootloader"
5. Switch to a terminal and chroot /target /bin/bash
6. aptitude install grub-pc
7. grub-install --no-floppy --recheck '(hd0)'
8. update-grub
9. Switch back to Debian-Installer and "Continue without bootloader"
10. Finish the installation.

Upon boot, you should see the out of partition error and be dumped
into rescue mode.

Installing grub-pc by hand is necessary because d-i, for whatever
reason, only installs grub-legacy onto xfs, despite giving a warning
that it won't work.

Thanks,
