Re: How to use btrfs as root?

I did use Google, and followed some documents. Well, he succeeded, not me.
And I think bootloader do not have to understand root partition, right?

Hi,
  I am trying to make a debian sid system with btrfs as root.

Why?  It's still tagged EXPERIMENTAL.

I am just trying. 8-)

Some things you try *after* doing some basic research.  Google really is
your friend.


 I installed debian sid on ext3 root, compiled 2.6.34 kernel. Booted
to 2.6.34, it mounted a btrfs data partition right.
 Then I booted into debian live, converted the root to btrfs, rebooted.
 I got this:
FATAL: Error inserting btrfs

Does your boot loader understand btrfs?

My boot partition is ext3.

That's not what I asked.
