Hi all, The ext2 filesystem uses 32-bit timestamps and will be unable to represent timestamps beyond early 2038. It is now deprecated in Linux for this reason. As we're generally moving to 64-bit time times in the trixie release, I think it's time to address this in partman, so far as possible. Currently many of the partman recipes specify ext2 for the /boot partition. In some cases I expect that this is necessary due to limitations of older boot loaders. For mainstream architectures using GRUB to boot, ext4 can be used for the /boot partition. Should I start proposing specific changes or does someone else have time to work on this?
