Probably the most salient feature of btrfs is snapshots; for this to work the entire system must be in a single partition. That is, after a failed update or change, grub allows you to boot the system that was previous to the update. With boot in a different partition, the kernel is out of reach of the snapshot, so the feature is broken.
I deem it unnecessary. Unless and until you run 'purge-kernels' the previous kernel and the libraries are still there. There is not need for BtrFS snapshotting of them. In fact I'd make the case that the kernels and all in /boot SHOULD be out of scope of BtrFS either on a separate partition or by settings in the configuration
If you insist on using a separate /boot, you might as well not use btrfs.
While there are reasons not to use BtrFS, this isn't one of them. -- 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
