No root or home subvolumes. Everything is just a directory. And no compression. No big deal, it's fine. This can happen with "advanced-custom" partitioning (a.k.a. blivet) in the gtk-ui version of the installer. The "custom" and "manual" partitioning options do produce a different layout with separate subvolumes for each mount point. It's possible to use advanced custom to get subvolumes assigned to mountpoints too but it is not too obvious how without fiddling, and it's real easy to just assign `/` to the btrfs top-level. Doesn't hurt anything. > Big question: > If I re-install and stick with btrfs, is there a way to turn off the > compression globally during the install process? There isn't a UI switch for it, no. There is a way to disable it in kickstart, and then rerun the installer pointed to that kickstart file. I'm not much help with that, sorry. You can also just remove it from fstab post install. And files will become uncompressed via attrition as they're updated. -- Chris Murphy -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
