Thanks to the work of Kerim Gueney, the new release of FAI 4.3 now has
support for btrfs in the FAI partitioning tool setup-storage. Here's a
simple example of the configuration file for disk_config/.


disk_config disk1
primary /boot 500 ext4 rw
primary -     2048 - -

disk_config disk2
primary -     2048 - -

disk_config disk3 sameas:disk2
disk_config disk4 sameas:disk2

disk_config btrfs
btrfs raid1 /                 disk1.2,disk2.1  noatime,subvol=@/
btrfs raid1 /home             disk3.1,disk4.1  subvol=@home,noatime


All raid levels of btrfs are supported in setup-storage, and you
can also hand over additional parameters to mkfs.btrfs by using the
createopts= option in the disk_config file.


This release of FAI is ready-to-go for jessie, but can also be used
with wheezy. You will get the new version if you add this line to your
sources.list file
