Patrick Hetu skribis: > I still need to figure out how to get rid of the "fsck.btrfs not > found" when the system boots. Maybe it needs to be in the initrd. (gnu build file-systems) is where =E2=80=9Cfsck.foo=E2=80=9D is invoked, in =E2=80=98check-file-system=E2=80=99. The other place to look at is =E2=80=98base-initrd=E2=80=99 in (gnu system linux-initrd), where the =E2=80=98helper-packages=E2=80=99 variable hosts p= ackages to be added to the initrd. If you adjust these two things, it should be possible to boot on a Btrfs file system. However note that there=E2=80=99s an ext2 superblock parser in (gnu build file-systems), which is used to find partition labels and so on. This won=E2=80=99t work on Btrfs partitions I suppose, so you=E2=80=99ll have to= refer to them by device name rather than by label or UUID. > Note that I'm also adding it to %base-packages like e2fsprogs. I think I=E2=80=99d rather avoid it by default. Users can still add it to = their =E2=80=98packages=E2=80=99 field. Now, we could add it in (gnu system install) so people can create Btrfs partition from the installer. That should be a separate commit, though. > From 982302084d16b53b878b36cc29f4e0cefc2df608 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Patrick Hetu > Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 17:01:42 -0500 > Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add btrfs-progs. The MUA ate the patch! It seems lines were wrapped or something. Could you send it again, the gnu/packages part? Also, it would be great if you could try to write a commit entry in ChangeLog format; see . Thank you! Ludo=E2=80=99.
