* cwillu_at_work has successfully booted a btrfs root on a beagleboard with rootstock15:08
cwillu_at_workI'm tempted to suggest it has a default rootfs, as it doesn't have the issues that ext3/4 has on sd cards re: journalling, nor the issues that ext2 has with the lack of journalling/consistency15:09
MartynI've managed to put together a ubi/ubifs as well... but that means you need direct access to the MTD to do UBI15:12
MartynAny issues on getting a btrfs root working that you found?15:12
cwillu_at_worknot really15:13
cwillu_at_workuou need a kernel with the appropriate modules compiled in, or available in an initramfs, although rcn's kernel packages have it enabled for a month or so now15:13
cwillu_at_workthe ssd optimizations are supposed to be automically enabled if it detects non-rotating media, although I just err on the side of caution and put "btrfs.ssd" on the kernel boot line15:14
cwillu_at_workI've been using it on a server for a while now, and also just started using it on my laptop, mainly to flush out these sorts of issues15:14
cwillu_at_workupdate-grub doesn't get along with it very well, but that's not really an issue with arm15:15
cwillu_at_workan amusing trick would be to hotswap rootfs devices:  boot off the sd card, plug in a usb reader with another card, add the new card to the btrfs root, and then remove the original card :)15:16
cwillu_at_workfor those uptime critical embedded installations where the sd is starting to give write errors, but you can't afford to reboot \o/15:17
