The personality info shown on the BF server is correct. andrew@neoemma:~ $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six) andrew@neoemma:~ $ uname -a Linux neoemma 6.2.8-100.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Mar 22 19:14:19 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux andrew@neoemma:~ $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 12.2.1 20221121 (Red Hat 12.2.1-4) andrew@neoemma:~ $ mount | grep home /dev/mapper/luks-xxxxxxx on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,ssd,discard=async,space_cache,subvolid=256,subvol=/home) I guess it could be btrfs-specific. I'll be somewhat annoyed if I have to re-init the machine to use something else. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB:https://www.enterprisedb.com
