That restricts you to using root filesystem that the bootloader can read, which excludes many modern filesystems, btra, f2fs, etc..
Also you would then need a separate efi partition instead of a combined boot and efi setup as is typical these days.
- charcircuit 3y agoSo use a bootloader that can read them then.
- fyrn_ 3y agoYou still have an extra partition, and there just plain aren't any bootloaders that can load those filesystems. You'd pretty much be stuck with ext4 as your most modern filesystem option. Really the kernel should have a better system for loading firmware from the root drive after the bool state that the root drive becomes accessible. Not for everything of course, but many of the biggest firmware blobs are fine as late loaders
