A separate /boot is pretty commonplace. Aside from mkfs, Anaconda also needs to be able to detect fs types - it uses blkid for that, but there is not yet a stable btrfs disk format for blkid to recognize, so blkid can't get updated yet. So it's all still a ways off. But if you want to play w/ btrfs, you can almost certainly build the kernel module against the kernel-devel package and have something usable. (And since rawhide's btrfs-progs is already stale, I guess you can just build that from source, too) :) -Eric -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
