[Bug 1270754] Re: can't mount /boot on XFS anymore

[Fernando Miguel]

#  grub-probe -t fs /
xfs
#  dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: hostdisk//dev/sda appears to contain a xfs filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot.  Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk).
