Description of problem: In custom partitioning of the hard drive, a /boot partition was listed for creation, formatted as btrfs. Anaconda warned that a /boot partition formatted as btrfs isn't bootable, and asked me to choose a different format. However, grub2, which is now installed by default in Fedora 16, supports booting from btrfs partitions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda 16.XX (as supplied in Fedora 16 Alpha (RC5)) How reproducible: Always occurs Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose custom partitioning layout with a /boot (or / if no /boot is listed) partition formatted as btrfs. 2. Once finished listing partitions, click next to format them. Actual results: Anaconda warns that /boot can't be formatted as btrfs, and returns the user to the custom partitioning layout. Expected results: The partitions are formatted, and the user enters the next stage of the installation. Additional info:
