Bug#772565: grub2: unable to access xfs with V5 superblocks

[Sven Geggus]

Package: grub2
Severity: normal

Hello,

looks like grub2 can not access xfs filesystems with V5 superblocks.

Thes can be created using "mkfs -m crc=1" and are probably the default in
newer versions of xfsprogs.

OpenSuSE seems to have a patch in its rpm available at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory/src/grub2-2.02~beta2-200.1.src.rpm

They have 4 xfs related patches:
grub2-xfs-Convert-inode-numbers-to-cpu-endianity-immediate.patch
grub2-xfs-Add-helper-for-inode-size.patch
grub2-xfs-Fix-termination-loop-for-directory-iteration.patch
grub2-xfs-V5-filesystem-format-support.patch

Regards

Sven
