Description Ben Cotton 2020-06-25 16:54:26 UTC 
This is the tracker bug for the Fedora change proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsByDefault

Summary:
For laptop and workstation installs of Fedora, we want to provide file system features to users in a transparent fashion. We want to add new features, while reducing the amount of expertise needed to deal with situations like running out of disk space. Btrfs is well adapted to this role by design philosophy, let's make it the default.
Comment 1 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-06-25 17:18:25 UTC 
One thing to note: currently `autopart --type=btrfs` leads to a btrfs volume with /boot on xfs, not ext4.

I'll be playing with these on top of Fedora 32 in my repo -- currently it has swap-on-zram as well (the current btrfs change doesn't mention swap much?) as well as enabling Nvidia if the GPU is detected. Not setting up subvolumes correctly though so I'll fix that.

That should be fixed, for sure...

We leave swap setup as it would do normally. Swap on ZRAM separately changes how we deal with swap.

Branching F33 Change Tracker bugs.

Today is the code complete (testable) deadline. All bugs should be at least in MODIFIED state by now to indicate they are testable.

Closing tracking bugs for F33. If your change didn't make it into F33 for some reason, please reopen this and NEEDINFO me.
