Public bug reported:
Just after grub entry selection done I receive this message: 'sparse file not
allowed' and it ask me to press enter to continue then it works. I've got my
root partition on a btrfs file system.
I looked at this blog:
http://mirkolofio.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/error-sparse-file-not-allowed/
that give a solution that i didn't tried:
I’m running a btrfs on / with (fake)raid1 and grub2, solved by removing line:
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
from /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
from /etc/grub.d/00_header file, and then running update-grub.
