File System Questions -- BFS with LVM

[Alex Gooch]

Good day all!

I am attempting to build a LEAP image (oem btrfs) where LVM is used, but btrfs is overlaid. 

When specifying btrfs as the filesystem attribute of type, and I have preferlvm set to true, I get a build error saying '/dev/rootvg/home' is too small to make a usable filesystem. When looking through the output I see that it is trying to build that with only 30MB of space. From what I read, this number is generated dynamically based on the size of the directories's contents?

I have also (unsuccessfully) tried to configure btrfs via config.sh. I had no luck there. 

Ultimately what I am needing is to use LVM and btrfs. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah we fixed this problem in newer kiwi versions.

Thank you Marcus! 

Pardon my ignorance, but how can I get that latest fix? The documentation talks about installing the tool I dont see where it mentions pulling updates down. This would also be helpful to get a leap15.6 directory pulled!

Hi,

We build stable versions here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization:Appliances:Builder/python-kiwi

leap15.6 is in the list :)

Hope that helps

Am I mistaken?

Thanks in advance

Well if you click on the repo of your choice and then on
