LILO and XFS question.
 

:Pengy: :newbie: :study:

Good $TIME to You.

I want to set my Red Hat 9 at XFS filesystem:
I want to place / partition on XFS.
I have my /boot directory on root partition.
I have XFS supporting kernel in the root directory.
I want to install LILO as MBR at /dev/hda.

The question is, whether LILO can boot kernel, which is placed on XFS partition, or I will have to place /boot at separate ext3 partition, which is the last resort for me.

Thank You in advance.

:eek:

I apologise, but I've told that I have kernel in ROOT directory.
Of cource, I wanted to say BOOT.

LILO will handle it. Just be 100% sure you compiled XFS support into your kernel (not as module!).

Shalom grayswonder,

You can look at your /etc/fstab file and see what it says for your /boot filesystem.

This will show if you have xfs as a module

/sbin/lsmod | grep xfs

Thank You all!
