systemdleteThis is more of a nuisance than a true bug, I think.  I have suspend/resume configured on a test machine (and both work perfectly!)  but during boot, whether warm or cold or resume from suspend, I always get the diskfilter warning.  From what I can tell by browsing grub files and the like, it seems to be a way to skip some save_env or whatever (that's as far as I went down that rabbit hole).  It is22:58
systemdletea nuisance, although it does time itself out eventually.22:58
systemdleteIs there a way to clobber this, elegantly and correctly?22:59
systemdleteSupposedly, Ubuntu fixed this way back in 14.04:  https://askubuntu.com/questions/468466/diskfilter-writes-are-not-supported-what-triggers-this-error#49828123:00

systemdleteIt is odd that no matter how much I have searched, I can't find anything that summarizes (in human-undestandable-speak) what this "diskfilter" is23:03
systemdleteIt may not be important, but a concise summary of what it does would be revealing as to why this is occurring.23:04
systemdletethe only thing I did find is that it is used by grub for lvm and raid23:04

systemdlete(resume from suspend seems to not require an entire reboot anyway)23:10
davespPer "https://forums.almalinux.org/t/grub-core-disk-diskfilter-c-diskfilter-writes-are-not-supported/5048", a user fixed the issue "by recreating the grub file", presumably with "update-grub", although the specific steps weren't mentioned.  (The diskfilter.c file is under "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grub.git&view=view+git+repository".)23:41
