[Bug 736743] Re: environment block not implemented on btrfs

[wilbur.harvey]

There are some other problems, not sure what they are.
I installed Oneiric on an BTRF partition and it has trouble booting, after
pressing the key it goes back to the BIOS quite often.
On the exact same machine, reinstalling to an EXT4 filesystem and it boots
every time.
I realize that this is not scientific or enough for a bug report, but maybe
it will be familiar to someone else.
Regards
Wilbur

Title:
  environment block not implemented on btrfs

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “grub2” source package in Oneiric:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I just installed natty alpha 3 on a samsung NC10 netbook. When booting, immediately after the grub screen I see the error message:
  'sparse file not allowed. 
  press any key to continue'
  after pressing any key the boot continues as normal.

  This is with btrfs on / and a separate ext4 partition for /home. I had
  created the btrfs partition manually (i.e. in a shell outside
  ubiquity) simply running mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 and it was not
  reformatted in ubiquity.
