[Attn Zinoviev] I'd like to adopt partman-btrfs

Bug#983107: os-prober: generic subvolume support for btrfs

Hi Osamu, Correction for previous email: Fedora 33 does not use "subvol=rootfs", it uses "subvol=root". I'm not sure if they changed this sometime in the last few years, or if I misremembered and typed "rootfs" by habit. Reply follows inline: Osamu Aoki writes: > If you want to use
