A question...

Hi GRUB hackers,

I have a question.

GRUB documentation contains the following text:

Support multiple filesystem types
   Support multiple filesystem types transparently, plus a useful
   explicit blocklist notation. The currently supported filesystem
   types are "BSD FFS", "DOS FAT16 and FAT32", "Minix fs", "Linux
   ext2fs", "ReiserFS", "JFS", "XFS", and "VSTa fs". *Note


What does "blocklist notation" means? I as understand it correct, by 
reading code, GRUB does not builds list of blocks like LILO. And it is 
okay, because not the all filesystems stores file data in the unformated 
blocks (as you know reiserfs has direct items for small files, which 
stored inside the tree).

GRUB does some kind of mounting and reads file from the corresponding 
filesystem instead.
