Question about GRUB/GELI support

2014-09-26 Thread Kris Moore
Hey, quick question about GRUB's support for GELI. We are using it to boot Free/PC-BSD with GELI v5, and it works great there. However FreeBSD updated their geli implementation very slightly to v7, which only changes which part of the master key is used for encrypt / decrypt. https://github.com/f

btrfs on Big Endian systems - anyone?

2014-09-26 Thread Andrei Borzenkov
I am not able to access btrfs on PowerPC. I did not test all of them, but other filesystems I tried are OK. Looking at platforms, PPC seems to be the only BE platform widely used for Linux; there are SPARC and MIPS but I doubt they use btrfs often. It sounds like missing endian conversion somewher
