[Bug 774217] Re: btrfs, core.img too large
Workarounds suggested are valid temporary options, however this bug is critical to be resolved if btrfs is to be widely adopted for conversion of existing root filesystems that have been updated from previous versions of ubuntu. The conversion itself is quite smooth and painless, however the boot loader should not require the partition to be moved (if technically feasible) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774217 Title: btrfs, core.img too large To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/774217/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Using a GPT partition table (instead of MSDOS) with a bios_grub partition of a couple megabytes is a workaround for this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774217 Title: btrfs, core.img too large -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I simply made the partition start at the 2nd cylinder in fdisk in the dos table, which gives grub 8MiB of space before the start of the partition and works too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774217 Title: btrfs, core.img too large -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 774217] Re: btrfs, core.img too large
I've added a note about this to the release notes: * If btrfs is used for `/boot`, then the gap between the start of the disk and the first partition must be more than the traditional 63 sectors. A good modern default is 1 MiB.
