GRUB 1.99 Released With Support For ZFS and BtrFS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the boot-grub-joke-goes-here dept.

kthreadd writes "GNU GRUB has been updated to version 1.99. Among the many improvements are support for two new filesystems, BtrFS and ZFS. For Linux users this means that it's now possible to move to BtrFS entirely and not use it only for non-bootable volumes."

    This is really cool. Now when one of these filesystems becomes stable in Linux, we'll be ready to go. Look out 2025--here I come!

    At what point does GRUB become more of an OS than a bootloader?

    When it has integrated EMACS?
