Subject: btrfs problems and fedora 14
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 10:19:43 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290467983.24502.66.camel@main-wireless> (raw)
I thought I would try btrfs on a new installation of f14. yes, I know
its experimental but stable so it seemed to be a good time to try it.
I am not sure if I have missed something out of all my searching but am
I correct in thinking that currently:
I. it is not possible to boot from a snapshot of the operating
system and, in particular, the yum snapshots cannot be used for
that purpose
II. it is so easy to create raid arrays of btrfs partitions but they
cannot be read by f13 or f14
III. it is not possible to copy btrfs partitions with snapshots
except possibly by the use of dd.
This is not meant to be a put down of btrfs but a plea to have some
clarification and in particular the ability to boot snapshots.
Hope I can get a response
