I'm using UEFI boot with btrfs RAID-1 on three devices (including bcache meanwhile). It works without problems. The only caveat is, that for both, bcache and multi-device btrfs (or combination of both) you need to boot using initramfs because the kernel by itself can neither detect multi-device btrfs not initialize bcache. This applies if you want to use it for the rootfs. You are all fine if rootfs is something more traditional. My layout is having the ESP (mounted as /boot), a resume swap and bcache caching device on an SSD, the rest is 3x 1TB spinning rust with btrfs, containing root and all the other subvolumes. -- Replies to list only preferred. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
