Hi, how to make Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 LiveCD/DVD that is btrfs formated and not ext4? What options need to be enables in kicstart file so that livecd-creator makes btrfs iso images?
I would like to also have compression enabled after btrfs image in transfered to hard drive or SSD.
Has anybody tried this?
Thank you in advanced, Valent.

Didn't try it, but should be enough to change fstype in fedora-live-base.ks
part / --size 3072 --fstype ext4

CrossPosting: A quick scan reveals adjusting fstype will not be enuff, btrfs uses different userspace tools from ext[34] "btrfs-progs", so livecd-tools will need a patch.

is this an easy patch so we can expect it really soon or is it harder and takes more time? When do you expect that we we will have btrfs ready live DVD/CD.

Any update for btrfs support?
Is it now possible to create Fedora Respin/Remix with BTRFS support?

I don't remember pulling in a patch for that. So the answer is probably no.
Are you talking about installing on a brtfs USB partition? If so syslinux needs to support that as a prerequisite. I doubt that it does, but haven't verified that. If you are talking about the file system embedded in the the squashfs image, there is little point to that. If I was to work on that aspect, I'd work on making things just use squashfs natively as there is now xattr support on squashfs. (And I belive ways to have device nodes.)

I'm wondering about making it work in squashfs so that users like me can create Fedora LiveCD/USB Remix could be installed (copied) on SSD drives. As LiveCD install only copies image I would like to have BRTFS image what would be copied to netbook's ssd with enabled compression and sdd option for BTRFS.
Is it possible to do that?

If we were to go down this route (and I am not committing to do any work in this area), the plan should be to allow the install to go to any supported file system type, regardless of what was used on the image itself. This would be a necessary change if we stopped doing ext3 embedded in squashfs. I have some interest in that, but its not high enough priority for me to say it will ever rise to the top of my todo list.
P.S. I am keeping this just on the livecd list. That seems more appropriate than the users list and it shouldn't be on both.
Here is patch that Yang sent. They used this patch for Meego but I'm not sure if it handles all issues because ther image is not btrfs even it can be installed only on ext3 formated partition and not on btrfs last time I checked:
Is this patch in latest mkliveinitrd in rawhide?

I don't know wht it is so, but it is really so :-)
For anaconda, I think you need to do some changes, but with this patch, your live image should be able to boot normally."

mkliveinitd is no more, dracut is the new initramfs generator
Besides that, I don't see how is that patch supposed to help :) Bruno has nicely explained what should be be future work in this area but I also don't see any urgency for that.

That was my first thought as well. What else would the link have been pointing to that replacing it would be necessary.
What I'd eventually like to see is that the live images just use squashfs (instead of ext3 embedded in squashfs) and when doing an install, all of the normal file systems are available.
I would really love to see on Fedora 15 feature list bullet-point * btrfs fedora livecd OR * create your btrfs livecd btrfs respin
Thank you guys for your answers.
Cheers, Valent.

I can pretty much guaranty there won't be a "brtfs spin" regardless of whether there is support of some kind for using brtfs on live images. That isn't the kind of feature that we base spins on.

I know that spins aren't using that kind of features but I was more thinking along the lines that users like me can make anykind of fedora remix based even on btrfs that would be perfect for custom netbook remixes.

That could potentially happen if someone works on it.
