I think so, and it'll just complain about /boot because it's not Btrfs (at least not by default). If your /boot is Btrfs, it's ok because GRUB supports it. > If not, how should I go about doing that?

That's a /dev node not a path to a directory or file. But it's a valid point in that there might be some noise whenever it touches the pseudo file systems like /dev, /sys, /run, /proc which are not on Btrfs either. Still, it should just skip those (with some noise) and continue on. If not then I've got an idea for a work around. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
