 |
|
Hello everyone, I am actually preparing to do a new install for my laptop, because I would like to switch to bcachefs and install a proper plasma 6 as well.
I have one question about bcachefs. Because I am not completely 100% sure. When bcachefs provide a subvolume, is it a LVM like functionality ? Because apparently, as I see in the official and in the gentoo documentation, I feel like it's just designed to make snapshot. Or maybe I am wrong ? Because I don't see/understand how I can manage volume like lvm.
Because basically, I would like to do like my actual installation, I mean encryption + flexibility of LVM
Do you know as well if the last gentoo iso support bcachefs ?

Although ext4 here, I sometimes wish I'd have snapshots fs in order to be able to get access to now deleted or modified files.
Patience is the key for serenity when it comes to fs.
Maybe btrfs will then be in a comparable shape.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Just to make me understand and be ready for that update, how should I proceed to make a subvolume ?
I have an other question as well. I am doing test under virtual machine with bcachefs, I am facing a problem.
Normally if I do an installation with LUKS+LVM, I mount first my encrypted partition in /mntgentoo, and then I mount /boot inside, and then /boot/uefi inside. But If I try to do that on a bcachefs formatted partition, it refuse to mount something else than a bcachefs filesystem
