Hello George, BTRFS is definitely supported by Anaconda. I installed Fedora 33 Silverblue Rawhide onto BTRFS. I believe the installer uses a default layout if you choose the btrfs option with automatic partition layout. Of course I haven't tried a VM of it. F32 (current stable release) is able to do this too with the exception of boot options needing manual intervention in order to boot ostree based systems. There is a good discussion here https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/btrfs-push-with-fedora-where-does-that-leave-silverblue/21760 Regards, Stephen On Thu, 2020-08-13 at 15:29 +0000, George R Goffe via test wrote: > Hi, > > I was reading about filesystems in Linux, specifically RedHat > systems, and there was a lot about btrfs and how good it is. > > With this in mind, I tried to install my favorite Fedora Core system > (Currently FC33) uner QEMU, but saw in the custom partitioning part > of the dialogues that btrfs was missing.
