[Bug 544646] New: grub can't handle btrfs partitions
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544646 Summary: grub can't handle btrfs partitions Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 8 Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hare@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Development Installing Milestone 8 on btrfs as root results in a failure during GRUB installation as grub isn't able to mount the selected partition. Appearently grub is not able to handle btrfs partitions. And according to the maintainer this is a new feature for grub and is not planned for 11.2. So I would suggest to add a warning panel in the installer to require a separate /boot partition (eg on ext3) to allow such a system to boot. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
