Originally I was thinking the installer's assertion that Btrfs is not resizable
just needed a verbiage change to "Resize unsupported"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962143
But there's a consequence that makes this a show stopper for Btrfs becoming the
eventual default file system.
Actual behavior:
1. F18, use Guided Partitioning, partition scheme set to Btrfs, on a blank
drive.
2. F19, use Guided Partitioning = can't, there isn't enough space and the
installer won't resize Btrfs volumes.
Expected behavior:
Either Guided partitioning should enable the shrinking of the Btrfs file system
to make room for a new 500MB ext4 /boot.
OR it needs to support /boot on Btrfs subvolumes.
OR it needs to support reusing an existing /boot.
Currently none of these are supported in Guided partitioning.
Work around:
Use Manual partitioning, and place /boot on btrfs as a subvolume. This also
triggers this grubby bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864198.
