Perhaps only interesting to some.
Many thanks for your follow-up. It's definitely of interest to me. I was wondering about d-i's progress with btrfs so I tested Wheezy and Precise. Wheezy's current dailies and weeklies are broken so I'll wait for them to be fixed. For Precise, I chose just one partition (no "/boot", no swap) and the installed (d-i not ubiquity, I didn't try the latter) and the installed created two subvolumes "@" and "@home" for "/" and "/home". About a year ago, both Debian and Ubuntu needed a separate non-btrfs "/boot" and only one sub volume would be created on a partition, so there's progress; d-i can now create more than one subvolume on one partition but it's not yet user-controllable. Your method's still required for multi-device btrfs volumes. FYI, this is the grub.cfg linux line that's created: linux /@/boot/vmlinuz-... root=UUID=... ro rootflags=subvol=@ You'd said in a previous email that you didn't think that grub supported having "/boot" on a multi-device btrfs volume but in this grub-devel thread [1], the first email says that raid support hasn't been implemented and the last email says that it is. 1. http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/aVxzlidgDid2J9Mtd2eb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
