python-vm-builder lacks btrfs file system support

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

when installing Ubuntu from CD or through PXE you have the option of choosing btrfs as the filesystem (using subvolumes for / and /home).

Would be nice if python-vm-builder would support the same, to allow realistic tests in virtual machines of machines to be installed on hardware

regards
Hadmut

I'm working through confirmed, but too-long-idle bugs and this is one of them.
vm-builder in particular is not only "only universe" - it also is somewhat discontinued and considering usage mostly replaced by "uvtool".

That said the bug is still valid (if one comes up with a fix to be sponsored), but looking at the time this is idle we need to face it that it is not in the focus of the Ubuntu server team, so I'm unsubscribing it to properly reflect that.
