From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: david grant Subject: btrfs problems and fedora 14 Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 10:19:43 +1100 Message-ID: <1290467983.24502.66.camel@main-wireless> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" To: linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org Return-path: List-ID: 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
