Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080512-1
Followup-For: Bug #436943


Hi,

grub2 fails for me in the aforementioned manner. It is unable to read
anything from /boot or /boot/grub which are both on my root partition with
an xfs file system.

Trying to ls some directories, I find that some read without problem
(apparently ones containing only a few entries, like / /mnt /media /lib64
for example) and others produce garbled output and the "out of partition"
error (ones with many entries, like /boot /boot/grub /etc /bin for example).

I checked the root fs with /usr/sbin/xfs_check, but it looks alright.

And if I remember correctly, I created the root fs not long ago, so it
should have quite recent data structures. The log being version 2 confirms
that:

# xfs_info /
meta-data=/dev/root              isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=64510 blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=258040, imaxpct=25
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096
log      =internal               bsize=4096   blocks=1200, version=2
         =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0
