F2FS and LILO, "Fatal: hole found in map file (zero sector)"

A bit of advice: f2fs users, always run f2fs.fsck -f at boot time, at least after a power outage, cf. this thread.

I haven't a clue if this affects f2fs, or even if you guys are aware (probably, but just in case...) the latest revision of LILO, has liloconfig adding these two lines that could possibly matter here...

Code:

### truncated lilo.conf ##
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
  reset
###

I've come to think you are correct. It is time to drop lilo and move on.
When it comes time to do the next "fresh" install, I'll use grub2.
