BTRFS: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Good timing!  I have a related BTRFS / Fedora 16 question.

I have used the "btrfs" Anaconda option, and I get btrfs appearing as
a choice in the menus.  However if I just change the root filesystem
to btrfs, then I would get:

  /boot          /dev/sda2
                 PV
                 VG
                 LV
                 btrfs     swap

Is this how F16 will be set up?  The Feature page[1] suggests that LVM
will be turned off by default, in which case it should look more like:

  /boot          /dev/sda2
                 btrfs

[where does swap go?]

Is there a way to install Fedora 15 (or 16?) like this today so I can
make sure that virt-resize will work on Fedora 16?

Rich.
