[Bug 1751517] Re: ubuntu bionic grub can't boot zstd compressed filesystem

[Dmitriy Geels]

The simplest workaround for the moment:

sudo btrfs property set /boot compression lzo # ensure this dir will remain readable by grub
sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -vr /boot # ensure /boot gets recompressed

Title:
  ubuntu bionic grub can't boot zstd compressed filesystem

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in grub2 package in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  In the /etc/fstab of installed ubuntu bionic system I specified compress=zstd for the btrfs root filesytem
  After runing 'sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -czstd /' the system booted to a grub shell.  I could boot again by running 'sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -clzo /' and specifying compress=lzo in the /etc/fstab.
  There is also a new bug in the btrfs tools:
  btrfs does recognize the option '-clzo' but not '-c lzo'.
