I apologize if I've missed it somewhere, but does grub support booting from a multi-device btrfs root sub-volume without a separate /boot? According to the wiki I think it's supposed to work, but when I chroot to that root, and run grub-install, it returns: Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.
I left the chroot, and installed grub to that disk from my old root, but it won't boot from my new volume. Does anyone have some advice, or should I just move to a separate /boot?
Thanks, =-Jameson
I have a btrfs partition (no seperate /boot) and I recommend using syslinux. You won't even have to upgrade to Grub2. -- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. #include <stdio.h> int main(){printf("%s","\x4c\x65\x6f\x6e\x69\x64\x61\x73");}
