Fortunately, this is how it already works, as far as I know. The installer will not create btrfs filesystems in automatic partitioning, and if you try to use btrfs on /boot (or on / without a separate /boot) then it will raise an error. Here are the templates for the two error messages in question:
Template: partman-btrfs/btrfs_root Type: error # :sl2: _Description: btrfs root file system not supported without separate /boot Your root file system is a btrfs file system. This is not supported by the boot loader used by default by this installer. . You should use a small /boot partition with another file system, such as ext3. Template: partman-btrfs/btrfs_boot Type: error # :sl2: _Description: btrfs file system not supported for /boot You have mounted a btrfs file system as /boot. This is not supported by the boot loader used by default by this installer. . You should use another file system, such as ext3, for the /boot partition. -- When selecting btrfs for root filesystems, grub doesn't use UUIDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678150 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
