If someone was using btrfs, it might not work, at least I have hit this
issue back in 2016. Maybe they already fixed btrfs, but on my Power Mac
G5 with Nvidia GPU, I had to use a pagesize of 4k in order for nouveau
to work, but since I had created the btrfs partition before, it wouldn't
mount complaining about an unsupported sectorsize.
No issue on ext4 filesystems, but still something to keep in mind.
Because: why not use btrfs on a 64-Bit PowerPC, right?
