It's worth pointing out that btrfs is not a flash filesystem, it needs a FTL (Flash Transition Layer) to do wear levelling on a NAND flash the same as EXT4 does. Your biggest hurdle is the fact that U-Boot does not understand btrfs, so you'll need a /boot partition formatted EXT4. Not sure that this is likely to change, as porting btrfs to U-Boot could be a major undertaking as it's much more complex. BTRFS environment file storage, once a filesystem driver is ported, should be an easy undertaking… least I didn't find getting U-Boot to support EXT4 for environment file storage particularly hard as there was an example for FAT as a starting point. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
