Can someone tell me if I should be able to create a system using the extlinux bootloader with /boot on a regular partition formated ext4 and the rootfs ("/") on a btrfs subvol?
This is no show stopper if it should work, but it does not work.
It should work, I suspect rootflags= is missing from the kernel param line in extlinux.conf as it's the kernel's job to mount btrfs rootfs, not the bootloader. This might be freezeexception worthy.
If this is not working, I cannot get too excited about it because
(obviously) nobody is using it.
Now, this is from a ext4 system with extlinux that works:
label Fedora (3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64) 20 (Heisenbug)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64
append root=UUID=92fd6132-b765-4475-a754-b0b34e25fd2e
vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 vconsole.keymap=us psmouse.proto=imps
rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
initrd /boot/initramfs-3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64.img
and here is the one from the /boot on ext4 but rootfs on btrfs:
label Fedora (3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64)
kernel /vmlinuz-3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64
append vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16
psmouse.proto=imps root=UUID=909a8e5a-2b60-4b76-b665-6e5167c7e4fc rhgb
quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
initrd /initramfs-3.11.8-300.fc20.x86_64.img
Look pretty much the same to me.
The error message said something about initrd-switch-root failing.
Sorry, this is out of my past experience.
Again, I do not see this as any type of blocker. It needs to get fixed
but how much of this is really used? Except for nuts like me and Chris? ;)
