What happened?

I know it is duplicate of #3077 but I think the previous error is not detailed enough

the idea of ventoy is based on "universality" and it really achieve this very good in most aspects

the point is that btrfs is out there for long time now and has very good support and it is widely used in across linux distros and i am personally using it,

i didn't get the point that grub already support btrfs and ventoy use grub to operate, idk if it is easy to implement such thing from grub or no

I know implementing such support for raid can be tricky and not easy but most users don't use raid but use btrfs itself as one solid partition, so I think it is worth to implement

Hey cool! Since this is more of a feature request than a bug, maybe it could be tagged as an enhancement?
It might also help to start a new discussion for it so it’s in the right place. and link it from this post when closing! Thanks!

If any admin can do so, i think it's worth discussing

if you start a new discussion in eg top window:

you can then make note of the (square brackets)number eg # (123 without the space) You should get a popup with the right one

and just mark it here then close! there is some more info here about all this: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#links
