GRUB2 (https://www.gnu.org/software/grub) has the most advanced support of
|
|
booting from BTRFS with respect to features.
|
|
|
|
U-boot (https://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/) has decent support for booting but
|
|
not all BTRFS features are implemented, check the documentation.
|
|
|
|
EXTLINUX (from the https://syslinux.org project) has limited support for BTRFS
|
|
boot and hasn't been updated for for a long time so is not recommended as
|
|
bootloader.
|
|
|
|
In general, the first 1MiB on each device is unused with the exception of
|
|
primary superblock that is on the offset 64KiB and spans 4KiB. The rest can be
|
|
freely used by bootloaders or for other system information. Note that booting
|
|
from a filesystem on :doc:`zoned device<Zoned-mode>` is not supported.
