anaconda: reuse of btrfs subvolumes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



OK, this bugzilla report has not gotten much action --
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892747

so lets try this list.

I would think that a common installation would involve two types of btrfs subvolumes: a new subvolume for root ("/") and one or more existing subvolumes for /home, etc. Anaconda can handle creation of new subvolumes nicely and adds them to /etc/fstab. However, for existing subvolumes, you need to specify "--useexisting" on the btrfs command which specifies the mount point or anaconda crashes saying that the subvolume already exists .. OK, that makes sense. But, if you then specify --useexisting, anaconda proceeds BUT the mount point is NOT added to /etc/fstab.

This problem has existed since Fedora 18 and is still true in Fedora 20 alpha. How about if someone fixes this, explains why it is not necessary, or explains how to specify reuse of a btrfs mount point? Is this too much to ask?

Comments?
