[opensuse] /etc/default/grub SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING="true" ? I have ext4 only?
All, Going through grub config, I run across the following: SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING="true" Huh? I installed on ext4 only -- what's this doing in the config? I presume it will simply be ignored, but shouldn't this get commented when there is no btrfs installed? -- David C.

Does anything end up in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? I think it's only a hint to check if such entries exist, and include them. ...you could always live-convert your ext4 to btrfs and then miss the option :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It actually modifies handling of btrfs in rather incompatible way so it may strike back if someone attempts to access other btrfs filesystems from grub. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't even want to know what that means -- that just sounds really frightening.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Commenting it out is extra code and having the variable will have no effect for you. On the other hand, it might bite back if you switch to btrfs one day - although such a switch on an existing install is something I would never do; a fresh install is really indicated in that case - the btrfs setup is too complicated. -- Saludos/Cheers, Carlos E.R.
