No, Phillip, you are not up to date in your filesystem technologies. I have 5 machines running with btrfs on raw disks with no partions and no partition tables that boot Ubuntu just fine (some legacy bios and other UEFI). As designed by the btrfs team (borrowed from the ZFS filesystem methodology)
The trick is to install grub to /@/boot using this command mount /dev/sda /mnt grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/@/boot /dev/sda If these two steps would be loaded into the Ubuntu Installer then there would be no problems installing and booting btrfs raw disks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023064 Title: Ubuntu installer crashed installing bootloader on btrfs+hw_raid5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1023064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
