The really fustrating part was when I tried to remove btfs and use xfs, the install failed, in that I couldn't log inot gdm. I know it is unfair, but I am feeling that the people making the installer have lost there handle on the software and it seems to be unpredicable.
Ruben, I never install on butterfs, and installing on xfs, ext4 works flawlessly. Installing on pre-formatted filesystems also works, although ISTR an issue with getting those added to fstab.
this kind of complexity is exactly the kind of thing that one doesn't need, especailly for an install with three partitions /swap / and /home (and now also /boot and /boot/EFI and /bios and this is really getting to be a PIA)
I agree, but such is life in an anarchy.
Same here. I've put BTRFS into a two year time-out. I may look into it again in a couple years, but it adds nothing I need, induces complexity beyond reason, and after two data losses (one requiring re-install) its on my ban list. Systemd caused enough confusing crap to appear in mtab and fstab that the additions caused by BTRFS became unmanageable. I use ext4 for / (root) and xfs for /home and /data (both encrypted). -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
