With the reinstall of F43 the live DVD wanted a minimum of 3 mount
points, /, /boot and /boot/efi. As I was using the same partitions
for those as my previous installation I told the installer to
reformat the / and /boot partitions, as part of this the installer
did not provide a dropdown to specify what format to use, and it's
format was EXT4 rather than BTRFS, is this what it is supposed to do
given that I thought Fedora had standardised on BTRFS for it partitions?
The default file system depends on the edition that is being installed
as I understand it.
For example Server uses xfs.
I have not used the live installer recently, but the new installed did
allow me to set the
file system type from the hamburger (3 lines menu) storage options.
Hi Barry,
When I ran the live installer and it got to the option of
specifying how I wanted to do the install I selected the option to
specify the partitions to install to, whereby is then said I need to
install /, /boot and /boot.efi, and when I selected the partitions for
each of those it gave me the option of either formatting or not
formatting, and for / and /boot I specified I wanted them formatted, but
that selection was either on or off. Unless I didn't see the format
options on the screen it didn't give me any, and when it showed what it
was going to do before I told it to go off and do the install, it said
it was going to format / and /boot as ext4, not that I was averse to it
doing that, I was just surprised it did that given what I thought was
the Fedora standard. From memory, when I did the F42 install from a live
DVD the same options did things differently.
regards,
Barry
