Cloud could switch to XFS along with server. The main problem is
that it'd make us revisit booting -- either 1) some work into
lightening up grub2, 2) testing and possibly enhancing syslinux's
xfs support, or 3) a separate /boot with a different filesystem. I
don't really love any of those options.
Could you go into more detail about those various issues?
My off-the-cuff guess is that you don't currently plan to use GRUB2
because it's heavyweight for your use-case? So you'd either need to
shrink it down or else find a way to allow syslinux to work (either by
supporting XFS in it or using a /boot with ext4)?
I'm trying to deconstruct that from the proposed solutions, so please
correct me if I'm way off base.
