FWIW, in previous discussion on the bug, I missed that your change only applies if the /boot partition is on btrfs...that does make it a less significant change that we might plausibly be able to take for final, though it introduces a significant difference in behaviour between /boot-on-btrfs and /boot-on-anything-else. I do wish pjones would chime in soon. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
