So, I haven't looked very hard at the grub code, and expected to start
the btrfs grub support with something very minimal (single device only

Hi Chris,
Cheers for the informative response. :)
In the ideal implementation, the grub.conf has a list of devices it is
allowed to scan, and we put the FS uuid directly in there, let grub scan
them and we'll be able to boot off multiple volumes in that way.
Hm... perhaps it doesn't even

Hi,
A quick googling turns up posts that GRUB support for BTRFS is planned. My
