USEBTRFS in rc.conf

Hi,

I set USEBTRFS="yes" in my rc.conf

I have a partition with btrfs but during the boot I see anything about this partition...

Or I did not understand what this variable XD

tnx

Re: USEBTRFS in rc.conf

From /etc/rc.sysinit:

# BTRFS devices detection
if [[ $USEBTRFS =~ yes|YES && -x /sbin/btrfs ]]; then
    status "Activating BTRFS volumes" /sbin/btrfs device scan
fi

So all this does is that scans for btrfs devices during boot (after initcpio has been run). It isn't necessary if your boot device is a btrfs drive (since that is covered during boot) or if you don't have any multi-device btrfs drives.
