Hi All, I've managed to get my dreamplug happy with btrfs, I did need to adjust one of the vmbuilder patches to get it working though. 1st I tried to set @ subvolume as the default, but for some reason all was installed in top. I suspect that I'll need to look at the uboot setup to get the @ subvolume to mount correctly. I do have a jtag but should this be a dependency for using freedombox on a dreamplug? -- Craig _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
