I'm using a F13 Beta RC4 with a root filesystem formated as btrfs inside a LVM and i have not seen any problems yet. I've just use the manual partitionning because my partitions and LVM was already created my a previous install. Hoping it will help you to know BTRFS already works well inside LVM on some F13 installs. 2010/4/8 Michael Cronenworth <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>: > 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.
