Argh. btrfs is a total PITA with all the extra options like subvolumes. To support this everywhere in the installer, we need the help of people who care about btrfs, use it themselves and understand all the options. I don't count on any of those, and I'm not sure KiBi does either. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." -- Edward Snowden
