GRUB支持Ext4吗？ －－ 再转自Fedoraforum的公告

There is a patch in Red Hat Bugzilla to handle this. However it is a very invasive patch and has not been merged into GRUB for this release cycle due to lack of time for comprehensive testing and prioritization of other more important fixes. Since Fedora uses LVM by default and GRUB doesn't support that either, in practice you will need to keep using the Ext3 filesystem for the /boot partition. This is the recommended setup and is how Anaconda sets it up by default. To prevent boot issues, Anaconda will not let you format a /boot partition with Ext4.

在Red Hat的Bugzilla中有个补丁是专门为此的。但因这个补丁具有侵入性，而尚无时间对其进行广泛的测试，并且相比其它更重要的修正来说，它并无优先，故在此发行周期中未把这个补丁融入。由于Fedora默认使用LVM，而GRUB对此尚不支持，因此在实作中/boot分区要保持为Ext3文件系统。这是建议的设置，而Anaconda默认设置也是如此的。为避免产生问题，Anaconda不会允许将/boot分区格式化为Ext4。


The Live CD/DVD installer sets up /boot as a separate partition formatted as Ext3. If this behaviour is not what you want, you can use the regular CD/DVD or network boot images.

Live CD或者DVD安装程序把/boot设为单独的分区并格式化为Ext3。如果这不是你希望的，那你可使用惯常的CD/DVD或者网络启动映像。
