Here is the relevant section of strace:

I was afraid of this finger-pointing.
Of course no one at Debian is going to know how to fix BTRFS jamming the
package management system. That's ridiculous.
It's starting to look like BTRFS is just busted in Debian, and I'll have to
reinstall everything over a different filesystem. I hate to

First I put an exit right after #! /bin/sh and it failed. Then I moved
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub to / and it still fail
I know what the error says; we've established that / is in fact mounted. The
system boots and runs, but grub doesn't understand it. My only answer is that
grub-probe does not understand BTRFS.
The question is what to do about this. I have three major systems committed to
this filesystem.

What do you mean 'does Debian support BTRFS'? The kernel supports it. And why
would they know more about BTRFS than you?

I have set up a backup server in the garage which does rsync backups of all my
servers weekly, and snapshots those backups. It works wonderfully, and I was
able to set it up thanks to help from this listserv, thank you.
But I'm accumulating quite a few backups now, unnecessarily. After a coup
On /dev/sda I have sda1 which is my / bootable filesystem for Debian formatted
ext4. This is 256MB on a 2TB drive.
I want to set up the rest of the drive as BTRFS for various functions, and I
presume that I first have to create a partition using fdisk for this? Since my
first part is ext4?
