Hi,
Because everything went so well with the beta, I thought about overwriting an old F10 partition with F14 as a test bed for btrfs. But I noticed that it isn't possible to reformat (or format) to btrfs as part of the install (at least it wasn't with the custom partitioning scheme).
Would there be a way to do this, even indirectly?
The nearest I've come so far is to reformat the partition as btrfs, and then do an rsync from the new F14-beta ext4 partition. Of course, I'd have to edit fstab, and grub, etc. but these are pretty minor tweaks. Would I need a separate boot for grub as ext4, or can it boot from btrfs?

hit tab, then specify btrfs on the kernel cmd line. Worked nicely for me.

Thanks, that helps a lot.
