Hi @bonnietwin
Actually I’ve been using EXT4 although always been looking forward to keeping an XFS file system. This is due to a verification comparing files between pools available on xfs which is not available on EXT4. I think it compares hashes instead of blocks as in RAID, but I’m still studing XFS and the best way to implement it. This time I enabled option EXT4 but would like to hear from you about that issue on xfs.
Thank you
Regards
In Core Update 182 grub was updated from 2.06 to 2.12-rc1
This ended up having a problem for people who had the xfs file system, maybe also related to certain generations of intel processor.

This was fixed in Core Update 182 by reverting grub back to 2.06

In Core Update 183 Testing grub was updated from 2.06 to 2.12
grub-2.12 has had the bug that was in grub-2.12-rc1 fixed.

But keep in mind that only the core update 182 is fixed not the release ISO.
If you need “xfs” for whatever reason (i see no benefit in this fs over ext4) install IPFire with core 181 iso and update it via pakfire.
