Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
btrfs reserves the first 64kiB for boot loaders as its CoW (Copy-On-Write) features mean that a file may change logical blocks. This area may also be referred to as the "embed area", "embedded area" or "embedding area", depending on the context. core.img must be installed to this area to ensure that other files may be read appropriately.
This depends on (LP: #757446) which has already been fixed. A patch resolving this has seen some testing already.

Upstream decided that this was too risky for a 1.99 freeze exception, so I'm inclined to follow that and not try to stuff it into 11.04 either. We might consider this for an update later.
