Hi,
how to enable btrfs support with fedora 11 - beta?
The boot option icantbelieveitsnotbtr does not work for me?
Thanks

The flag is still in anaconda at first glance:
@property def supported(self): """ Is this filesystem a supported type? """ supported = self._supported if flags.cmdline.has_key("icantbelieveitsnotbtr"): supported = self.utilsAvailable
return supported
when you say it does not work; custom partitioning doesn't give you the choice of btrfs I guess?
Thanks, -Eric

Hi Eric,
yes, that´s right. I don´t see the btrfs option when custom partitioning.
There is: efi, ext4, ext3, ext2, hfs, lvm, raid, swap, vfat xfs... but btrfs is missing?
What can i do?
Thanks a lot.

File a bug. :) You did see xfs? that's surprising, looking at the code it seems like xfs is broken. And hfs? hm. I need to test the beta!

Hi Eric,
a small screenshot about the file system choice in fedora 11 beta with the boot option "icantbelieveitsnotbtr":

What can i do to enable btrfs? I´d like to test btrfs on our ibm x3650 servers.
Thanks

Use normal install media, not the Live image.
You don't get to choose what filesystem is installed when using the Live image; you just get a copy of the Live image itself, which is ext4.

Ah, I didn't realize it was the live image ... (was it? but then if so why would it offer any options at all here?)
In my testing w/ the x86 F11 beta, I do get the btrfs choice w/ "icantbelieveitsnotbtr" and I got past mkfs & mount just fine.
Thanks, -Eric

Hi,
thank you. Yes, it was the live cd. I just downloaded the network install image and it´s working and installing with btrfs, now.
Thanks a lot.
