I don't understand why you are flogging this dead horse, Carlos?
I agree but for slightly different reasons. Back when, yes I installed with a BtrFS system. I had done, what I always do, and done a fdisk to slice up the (then, for me) new 650G disk into a swap partition (to match memory, of course) a boot partition and 'the rest'. Now I know there are people who say you should not have a separate /boot/ I'm not one of them. Let's not get into that pizzing match here and now. The installer's partitioner (the same as used by Yast I presume) was smart enough to recognise (having them labelled in upper case probably helped) them and put BtrFS in 'the rest'. That all seemed to work and worked well enough with BrtFS doing it thing and annoying me until I decided I was fed up with it and abolished it and experimented with XFS and now jfs. My various partitions are a mix of Ext4, ReiserFS and JFS. For some reason I never understood, /boot was created as ext2 and I've never bothered with changing that. So yes, I think this thread is getting overly complicated. I think the installer & partitioner has smarts that we often don't give it credit for. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
