Re: Updating docs for Btrfs by default

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

 



May I make another recommendation

Date & Time

The Date & Time screen allows you to configure time and date-related settings for your system. This screen is automatically configured based on the settings you selected in Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-welcome, but you can change your date, time and location settings before you begin the installation.

I would rework it to.
If necessary, use the Date & Time screen to configure and confirm time and date-related settings for your system. This screen is automatically configured based on the settings you selected in Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-welcome, The Date and Time settings will determine the timestamps that anaconda uses to create partitions, directories, and files.

Hi,

This doc is in need of updating for the Btrfs by default feature
approved for Fedora 33:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsByDefault

I can fork https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/install-guide and submit
PR's. But I don't think that method is interactive, i.e. it's pretty
much accept the PR or reject it, correct? Any other ideas?

I've identified these specific areas:

- Automatic partitioning -  should say Btrfs instead of LVM
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning

- Some partition types - notably the /boot and /usr directories and
the BIOS Boot and EFI partitions - can not be placed on Btrfs
subvolumes. Use standard physical volumes for them (or an LVM logical
volume for /usr). See
Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning-recommended
for more information.

- Ext4 is the default and recommended file system used by Fedora
Workstation and Cloud.

- Advice on Partitions

- Recommended Partitioning Scheme (recommendations, sizes all need updates)
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning-recommended

- Manual partitioning should say Btrfs instead of LVM
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning

- Silverblue
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/technical-information/#filesystem-layout

- swap - based on your system parameters
    - unrelated to btrfs, but needs updating for swaponzram feature
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM
