Well, what it means is 'filesystems directly on partitions' rather than any more complex LVM/btrfs volume-management setup. The filesystem format it currently uses by default is ext4, but that's not necessarily written in stone, and in fact the initial plan for F21 was that Server installs would default to xfs instead. And of course the 'LVM' choice also uses ext4 - it formats the LVs themselves as ext4 filesystems. > But with the auto selected > BTFRS both / and /home are in the same volume and I can't see how to > alter the size of this volume in order to increase the size of swap Select a mount point that's part of the volume, click 'Modify...' under the volume name in the right hand pane, change 'Size policy' to 'Fixed', enter the new size, click Save, then click Update Settings. You should see the displayed size of each mount point that's a part of the volume update to the new value, then you can change the size of the swap partition. (now, I'd actually assume that with a size policy of 'As large as possible' or 'Automatic' for the btrfs volume I could change the size of the swap partition and the btrfs volume would change size to compensate, but that doesn't seem to work...) > Definitely, later, going to have to figure out how to setup btfrs to get > supposedly better SSD performance over ext4. I don't think I've seen any non-artificial benchmarks that actually bear this out, btrfs was sort of 'planned' to perform better than ext4 on SSDs but I'm not at all sure it currently actually does. I run ext4 on all my SSDs. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
