and also with reiserfs v3. as i've said i've been using it with |
| 25 |
reiserfs for more than 3 |
| 26 |
years and haven't had an issue. saying that it only supports ext2 |
| 27 |
sounds a little |
| 28 |
strange. maybe Bob was trying to say that the official grub team |
| 29 |
officially support |
| 30 |
only ext2. this is different from saying that grub only supports ext2. |
