grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot
Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: error: filesystem `btrfs' doesn't support blocklists.
The 1000M partition is for /boot, the 10G for /, the 100G for /home.
I created the partitions using gparted 0.25.0
The release of Ubuntu is 16.04
I expected grub-install to succeed as there is plenty of space before the first
partition.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy grub2-common

I got the install working by using an msdos table and an unformatted
primary partition instead of free space at the beginning of the disk :
