Re: grub-mkstandalone help text fix

On second thought, that may not always be right (i.e. if there's a program_prefix, so grub would need the transform applied to it). --S Quoting Seth Goldberg, who wrote the following on Wed, 28 Sep 2011: Hi, I noticed the --help text was incorrect and incomplete, so here's a patch

Re: getroot for ZFS without libzfs?

Hi, @Seth: any comment on what Sun considers a public API? As far as I know, libzfs is not a publicly documented API. I don't think I can give any assurances about its stability. Then I wouldn't use /dev/zfs. The less stable and standard is the ZFS API GRUB uses, the more likely is

Re: Grub2 EFI: Image loading from USB takes too long

It's not just USB. Loading large files via UEFI with GRUB2 takes an extremely long time. One of the things phcoder suggested was changing the cache size, which you've done. Od love to see a larger cache committed to the trunk so UEFI platforms can benefit when large files need to be read by

gfxpayload and the multiboot2 header

Hi, It looks like currently, when a framebuffer tag exists in the multiboot2 header of a mb2 kernel, that resolution is used even when gfxpayload has a different resolution. I think gfxpayload set to a value other than auto should override the value of this tag, as it will give consumers

Patch for getroot.c

Hi, When testing with UMEM_DEBUG set to default on Solaris, I discovered that find_root_device_from_libzfs() was maintaining a pointer to state that was freed when zpool_close() was called (specifically, the device path string, retrieved from an nvlist). The path here fixes that and make

How to use xzio?
