Description Mike Hlavac 2005-09-24 12:16:49 UTC

The following patch is a modified version of the patch written by
j.j.vanderheijden@home.nl and allows aboot to handle XFS partitions.  It has
been tested against a Digital Personal Workstation and seems to work just fine.

If you are still looking for bringing XFS support to aboot then I would suggest you to send an updated patch upstream, this has previously been done at Debian and since then nothing was heard about it; I'm a bit afraid upstream support may be dead. Permission to close was granted by one of the maintainers (ago).
