Title:
iso-scan/filename= does not search btrfs partitions
Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When booting an ISO image from GRUB, the scripts in initrd.lz probe
partitions for the file given by the iso-scan/filename= kernel option.
However a whitelist in the initrd file /scripts/lupin-helpers only
considers partitions with filesystems of the types ext2, ext3, ext4,
xfs, jfs, reiserfs, vfat, ntfs, and iso9660, and will therefore fail
to mount an ISO located on a btrfs partition. Adding btrfs to this
list worked fine for me when testing with a 15.04 iso. I'm guessing
its exclusion is just an historic artifact.
