I am trying to install F25 on a legacy box that already has a working Ext4 over LVM over Md raid 1 of 2x2TB disks, and only a single empty non raid partition on the second disk. The plan is to nondestructively upgrade the old OS to F25 by keeping both for a while, giving the user the option to boot the old OS if they want, without any further down time. Meanwhile I would slowly move the old data over to new dynamic Btrfs raid1, to take advantage of its gorgeous scrub and autorepair mechanism. All the work must be done remotely.
The installer is confusing to me. Logic would suggest that you choose LVM device, then select a Btrfs volume instead of ext4, but there is no such option! Another sweaty palmed option would be to accept the ext4 over LVM install, then remotely online convert to btrfs, yikes! Then add magical incantations to fstab and/or grub and pray that the next remote reboot does not turn into a tragedy! _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
