ugh. The "search" lines in question are unambiguously GRUB 2 syntax, and moreover they're in grub2_* functions as opposed to grub_*. No compatibility hacks in GRUB 2 are involved here. Changes to the grub2_* functions can't break GRUB Legacy. Cheers, -- Colin Watson

Bug#738864: Remove copy operation for parted3 transition

2014-07-05 Thread Colin Watson
It's a shame to remove a feature, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious alternative at the moment. It can of course return if somebody figures out the necessary code to deal with the necessary resizing operations; I suspect it would end up needing to be filesystem-specific.

les with tar? I think this is probably going to be simpler than adding xattr support to busybox tar (in GNU tar that depends on a specific archive format, so I'm guessing it's not exactly trivial). Even if we did go for the latter approach instead, we'd probably still need at least a
