My biggest BTRFS array is a RAID-1 of 2*3TB disks. The system in question boots from an Intel SSD so I have no need of boot support on the hard disks. > (NB: grub will not boot from "/dev/sdb", selinux will) Not sure what you mean here, but SE Linux isn't a boot loader. Did you mean syslinux? That's a boot loader but I don't know if it works in such a configuration. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
