In custom partitioning, Btrfs is a 'device' type like RAID and LVM, instead of appearing as a file system. > Anaconda did sense these partitions and filetypes but when I got around to assigning partitions to mount points, the process would not let me make a mount point for "/". For one, the sort of the display was NOT by device, i.e., /dev/sda1, but rather some other sort "field". I was expecting a similar partitioning process but this is not the case. If it won't let you do something, it should present a banner at the bottom with a short error message that you can click on to get more information. > I guess I'm asking two questions here. 1) is btrfs supported by anaconda, 2) is it the process broken for btrfs? It is and it shouldn't be. If you're running into trouble, file a bug and include discrete reproduce steps so that anyone can try to reproduce the problem. Then we can figure out what's up. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
