For the record, it was dropped as part of the plan to make the storage workflow a bit more streamlined and understandable - no-one really liked the Installation Options dialog, and we decided it was a good trade-off in the interest of simplicity and understandability to make the filesystem choice available only in custom partitioning. Custom part is pretty easy to use if all you want to do is pick a filesystem and otherwise let anaconda handle things. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Once in the custom/manual partitioning window, find the pop-up with LVM in it. Click that and you'll see other options including Btrfs. You can also click the + button to add individual mount points, and make them Device Type Btrfs. Each mount point will be created as a Btrfs subvolume on the same Btrfs volume.

You need to address this question to the "test" list for better attention and service. The short answer is that btrfs is treated as a device type in the installer.

You need to address this question to the "test" list for better attention and
service.
It depends on what type of install you are doing. A regular gui install
has worked fine for me. Kickstart, well, that is another story.
For the gui, simply select custom partitioning and select BTRFS from the
list of types (default is LVM). You can then click on the "auto"
partitioning or use "+" to do it yourself. If you are reusing an
existing BTRFS volume, that is a bit trickier. Remember that /boot and
the rootfs ("/") must be "freshly formatted. If /boot is on a ext
partition simply clock on reformat. For the rootfs you will need to
delete the current one and then you can alloate a new one reusing both
the subvol name and the space.
Now, does that answer your question? If not, what are your specific
problems?
