According to Tom Gundersen:
#Also, usind syslinux rather than grub is usually much simpler

Thanks Tom for suggesting syslinux. I now have a bootable system using
syslinux, an ext2 /boot partition and BTRFS on the rest of
For what I understood, messing with the initcpio won't change anything,
because GRUB doesn't even get to load it.

According to Tom Gundersen:
#Kyle: a btrfs module (in rc.conf or otherwise) should not be necessary.
I didn't think so, since I added btrfs to my HOOKS array in /etc/initcpio.conf
right after filesystems, although that may not be necessary either. Better safe
than sorry.

+1 for the ext2 boot partition
why isn't it necessary? is it loaded by default? because udev isn't

um, well, grub in my opinion is pretty unstable...

I'm sorry Kyle for screwing your topic...
well, I think that you need an ext boot partition.
then, try to add the btrfs to modprobe.d (I don't remember exactly how...)
or to rc.conf (if using init scripts and not systemd) by adding "btrfs" to
the MODULES array

Well, I don't think it will "destroy" the flash... As it is made of NAND
flash, I suppose that it reacts pretty much like an SSD. Anyway, it should
take a considerable time until it wears out, and if you use it only to

I've no idea on how btrfs performs with a flash disk actually. My btrfs

is it actually safe to format an usb flash to btrfs? won't it destroy the
