You need a boot loader that understands the btrfs layout. IIRC, that's the behemoth called grub2.
But then again, I have arranged myself with having /boot on some "simple" filesystem, also because the delayed writeout, or internal rebalancing of some filesystems (and maybe even manual defragmentation!) means that the location of stage2 might change, which is totally uncool for bootloaders that grab stage2 solely by LBA numbers.
btrfs provides space for bootloader and grub2 will by embed itself in this space. So it is affected by file layout change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
