Tried installing Maverick alpha 2 ( alternate-i386) - because its an eeepc 901 i created a usb install disk with the usb creator. My eeepc has 2 ssd drives, 4GB and 8GB - On the 4GB one i created a 300mb ext2 partition for /boot, and the rest of the space btrfs for / . The 8GB drive was all btrfs. Partitioning was quick and painless but install was much too slow. After 2.5 hours i stopped the install because i had only reached 34% - this is not right. Lucid + ext4 on the same hardware is very fast. I know btrfs is experimental but i have my mythbuntu system with a 1.5TB storage disk formated to btrfs and its quick. Does it have something todo with aligning blocks / partitions?
