Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: wishlist

To experiment with BTRFS as the root file system under KVM, I added btrfs and
associated modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and built an initrd image,
which I then installed to an EXT3 partition in the QCOW2 image to be loaded by
KVM. Grub 2 is used as the boot loader, Debian kernel 2.6.32-trunk-amd64.
Btrfs is the root file system. (/boot on /dev/hda1, / on /dev/hda2).

The initrd fails with a "no such device" error mounting the root file system
and exits to the initrd shell environment. If I then mount the root file
system manually:
mount /dev/hda2 /root
it succeeds, which shows that the btrfs modules are working.

Since Btrfs remains experimental, this is probably a low-priority issue, so
I've set it to wishlist for now (you're welcome to change this if appropriate,
of course.)
