+ <guilabel>Btrfs</guilabel> — Btrfs is under development as a file
system capable of addressing and managing more files, larger files, and larger volumes
than the ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems. Btrfs is designed to make the file system
tolerant of errors, and to facilitate the detection and repair of errors when they occur.
It uses checksums to ensure the validity of data and metadata, and maintains snapshots of
the file system that can be used for backup or repair.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Because Btrfs is still experimental and under development, the installation program
does not offer it by default. If you want to create a Btrfs partition on a drive, you must
commence the installation process with the boot option <command>
btrfs</command>. Refer to <xref linkend="ap-admin-options" /> for
instructions.
+ </para>
+ <warning>
+ <title>Btrfs is still experimental</title>
+ <para>
+ Fedora &PRODVER; includes Btrfs as a technology preview to allow you to experiment
with this file system. You should not choose Btrfs for partitions that will contain
valuable data or that are essential for the operation of important systems.
+ </para>
+ </warning>
+ <note>
+ <title>Btrfs is not supported for LiveCD installs</title>
+ <para> Installation using Btrfs is not supported for LiveCD installs as the
installer needs the btrfs option passed and btrfs-progs to be installed.
