btrfs related option in the debian Installer



Hi Nicolas,

Cyril pointed to you as the person to talk to about btrfs.

I am a btrfs and Debian user and there are a couple of option I would be happy to have avaible from the installer.

The first one is quite simple, withing the "partition management", there is a dialog to select mount option. However, the `user_subvol_rm_allowed` option is not available there. The option is handy and it would be nice to have a line for it.

The second one is a bit trickier (but not crazy either). I usually prefer to install my system in a dedicated subvolume (set as the default subvolume) to allow me to easily do clean snapshot of the system content with clean snapshot management (ie: outside of the things we snapshot). I would be nice to have an option to specify a subvolume that should be:

- created
- set as default subvolume for the btrfs volume
- used by the Debian installer to install the system too (should be trivial once the first 2 are done).

What do you think and how should I proceed if I want to contribute this kind of changes ?

Cheers,
