Good news Marc, |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Last December I was on the BTRFS train. The docs team was totally |
| 15 |
in agreement with my (your ?) enthusiasmn for all things BTRFS; including |
| 16 |
but not limited to the development of documentation of how to install, from |
| 17 |
scratch, a complete Gentoo system, centric around BTRFS. The goal was for a |
| 18 |
group to develop documentation on the the gentoo wiki for this adventure. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Unfortunately, as a single parent, entrepreneur, and handyman living in a |
| 21 |
fixer_upper, my free time is rather scant these months of 2014..... |
| 22 |
After some seriously needed projects are closed out, I'll have much |
| 23 |
more time; hopefully in some weeks rather than months. My goals was to |
| 24 |
clearly delineate possible explicit installation syntax for the smoother |
| 25 |
integration (mastery?) of grub2, (u)EFI and BTRFS into a new gentoo |
| 26 |
installation. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |

So if you don't mind, I'd like to parse out good ideas (from your efforts) |
| 30 |
and start this doc on the Gentoo wiki, based in part on your conversion |
| 31 |
adventures. I would not even be upset, if some other, younger, |
| 32 |
sharper mind wanted to develop a gentoo-wiki doc, based on your adventures. |
| 33 |
Also, I'm hoping others are keenly inspired to contribute to your efforts |
| 34 |
and some experimental installation docs on the gentoo wiki. This is the |
| 35 |
gentoo community's chance to influence future gentoo installation docs, in |
| 36 |
a non threatening manor. BTRFS is on the fast track in many linux distros, |
| 37 |
as well as cloud/super computers architecture and embedded 64bit arches |
| 38 |
as the main file system of choice. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I've been espousing (as have many others) for a long time on the |
| 42 |
convergences of embedded linux and full_bloat linix for some time. Here is |
| 43 |
one gentoo_distro where the author experiments with many of the issues |
| 44 |
related to convergence. There is even some suggestions on using BTRFS on |
| 45 |
gentoo found here. [1] |
| 46 |

|
| 48 |
sincerely, |
| 49 |
