Hi GRUB hackers,
I have a question.
GRUB documentation contains the following text:
Support multiple filesystem types
Support multiple filesystem types transparently, plus a useful
explicit blocklist notation. The currently supported filesystem
types are "BSD FFS", "DOS FAT16 and FAT32", "Minix fs", "Linux
ext2fs", "ReiserFS", "JFS", "XFS", and "VSTa fs". *Note
What does "blocklist notation" means? I as understand it correct, by
reading code, GRUB does not builds list of blocks like LILO. And it is
okay, because not the all filesystems stores file data in the unformated
blocks (as you know reiserfs has direct items for small files, which
stored inside the tree).
GRUB does some kind of mounting and reads file from the corresponding
filesystem instead.
