If /home is on btrfs, it's generally a separate subvolume, and it can be preserved. That was a big part of *why* the Btrfs layout is the way it is. However, Anaconda seems to be choking on subvolumes created by systemd-nspawn, which is kind of surprising. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
