Package: partman-btrfs Severity: important Tags: d-i On machines where the kernel and initrd are stored in a flash partition (such as various Qnap TS-* devices, the Sheevaplug, etc.), there is no need for a separate boot partition, even if the root partition is formatted with btrfs. However, check.d/no_btrfs_boot always returns an error in this case, regardless of the type of machine.
I don't know how easy it would be to detect whether the target system has everything it needs in flash memory or not, but an alternative solution could be to decrease the severity of the event from an error to a warning, explaining in debian/partman-btrfs.templates in which case it's okay to proceed and in which case it's not. I was using the sid debian-installer on a Qnap TS-419P. Looking at partman-btrfs' changelog, the issue seems to be present in all versions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
