I installed F13 beta RC4 with all the defaults, except I installed on two Intel SSDs (40gig G2 drives) in a Linux software RAID1 configuration. I left anaconda to install /boot to ext4 and / to an LVM with ext4 and a swap area inside of it. The benchmark results from palimpset show me maxing out my SATA 2 links. :) I rebooted into a F13 beta RC4 live USB drive and ran "btrfs-convert /dev/mapper/vg_foo-LogVol00" and it converted successfully. I updated my /etc/fstab from "ext4" to "btrfs" as the root file system. Upon rebooting I was met with a failure of setting the hostname (odd) and then iptables complained of missing library files and 90% of the default services failed to start. The init failed to kick off TTYs and the X server so I was not given a login. I can hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and reboot, however. I entered into the live image again and set back fstab to "ext4" and rebooted. I was presented with a rescue boot prompt and gave it the root password. From there I changed my fstab to "btrfs" and typed "reboot" and Fedora continued to successfully boot (without physically rebooting) and I am typing this message from the install while the rootfs is btrfs. If I were to reboot right now, Fedora would not come back up and would result in the same service start-up failures. I would have to repeat my hack of setting fstab back to "ext4". What am I missing from having a working btrfs system? Or is this a bug?
