Hi jdulaney,
I remembered you created a btrfs test for installer:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_btrfs
Do you have any plan to update it? To make it mimic the non-lvm
primary partitions(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_ext4_rootfs_on_disk_par...) or similar to the default partitioning install test(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_install) ?
Actually, I have that written up in my notebook; just have to transfer
it online. I plan to do so tomorrow. Today has been recover-from- yesterday-day.
I figure I'll get the Anaconda installation stuff done with, and I think
that should cover a lot of the basic usage. Then I'll get into things such as subvolume creation/use, the LVM replacement stuff, etc.
Thanks, I created a new anaconda btrfs test based on your test case: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_btrfs_rootfs_on_disk_pa...
where I assumed that only / was formatted as btrfs by anaconda defaults, but it surely need be confirmed by the developers. Adding Josef to the cc list. Josef, can you please clarify what's the default filesystem for /boot on Fedora 16? Also are there any other changes on anaconda when making btrfs as the default comparing with previous lvm defaults? Thanks.
