Doesn't seem to be supported in 5.0.1, but we should support it, https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Does_btrfs_support_encryption.3F # start disk config disk_config sda disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid primary /boot 500 ext4 rw primary swap 2048 swap sw primary - 0- - - disk_

So I got it working by doing a partition hook which included skiptask partition. Looking at other format.log's was very helpfull. I also needed to add cryptsetup and btrfs-tools to the install packages. On Sat, Jan 2, 2016, at 06:31 AM, Kerim Gueney wrote: > Hey Ian, > > this is actually somethi

example network script will misname interface if installing stretch

Using jessie as the base os to install stretch. 30-interface will setup /etc/network/interfaces with something like eth0, and if you upgrade to stretch, it will reboot and eth0 is now named something like enp3s0f1. This was with version 5.0.3, so hopefully it's still current.

For anyone else hitting this, also worth noting that basefiles generated on a system with messed up acls can have bad acls built in to them and they will need to be fixed / recreated in addition to putting a new tar in the nfsroot. Alternate way of getting new tar that I used: On the fai server:
