Date: Sun, 31 May 2020 09:39:23 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Now that 37305 is merged, we can revisit this issue.

1. This patch only includes a documentation update.
2. We could make Btrfs the default in the graphical installer.
3. We would probably need to update the tests, at least for the latter.

As mentioned above, I think it's safe to enable Btrfs without subvolume,
with Zstd compression.

For subvolumes, we would need to implement the corresponding tests.

Thoughts?
