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
Hi, I have just finished an installation of archlinux onto a btrfs partition (although it is not a multi-device btrfs partition) with /boot in a separated subvolume. For my case the grub2 works well. Before your running of grub-install, have you checked if /root is accessible from your chroot environment? Regards, Zhengyu
