May be I should depicted my method more detailed:
I only let the grub itself on a separate partition, with which I can boot the kernels located on the btrfs.
Err NO.
Err, yes.
NOT
I have /boot where the bootable kernels live. There is a /boot/grub2 and all the other /boot/*
But the /boot/initrd and /boot/vmlinuz and stuff are there.
Where do you think the bootable kernels would reside if not on /boot?
The bootable kernels live in boot, which is part of the root partition
The point I was trying to make is that need not be the case. All of /boot and what lies underneath it, and there I agree with you, can quite reasonably reside on a seperate partitioon. I know this is possible since I am running a system like that, have been running a system like, ran a system like that even back when I just had the BtrFS for the rest of the file system.
There is a caveat, a huge one. You do not want to do this with btrfs. Not if you want its most brilliant feature, that of rolling up udates. Suppose. Suppose you run "zypper up". The kernel is updated and many things. But something goes badly wrong, and you want back to the previous version. Maybe use a rescue ssytem to download and install previous kernel, right? No. Just tell grub to boot previous snapshot. Boot, verify, consolidate. Done. In minutes. Even old mama can do it. Now, put /boot on different partition, and the feature can not work. Maybe you don't use btrfs. I don't, but I know about that feature. If I used btrfs I would want the full feature set. Specially this one. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
