And does extlinux work in all the Vagrant use cases (I've never used
it)? My understanding of using extlinux was because it was small and
works on AWS for those images, in the case of vagrant it's 40Gb in
size so size is not really an issue here and grub2 likely works better
in the developer workstations (what ever Windows/Mac user use for
hypervisors) use case so it might be better to explicitly add the
packages to the vagrant image rather than move it to extlinux.
Hey Peter,
Thanks for bringing this up. I'll check that it works on the various
targets.
I had previously suggested that we go back to using grub2 (like we did
in F23) for fedora cloud base (both base and vagrant images) but dgilmore/mattdm,
and I decided to stick with extlinux for the space savings. This assumes that
we don't hit any problems in testing.
I'd like to keep the cloud base and the cloud base vagrant image using
the same bootloader for consistency. If we hit problems with extlinux
for vagrant then I'd prefer we switch both cloud base and cloud base
vagrant images back to grub2. I'd prefer to not have them differ on
that front.
What do you think?
