Grub 2.04 is supposed to add zstd compression support for btrfs, but grub doesn't boot if /boot is compressed with zstd too.


Additional info:
grub 2.04

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compress / with zstd on a btrfs partition (including boot)
2. Restart
3. Grub shows the error: compression type 0x3 not supported

I tried to add btrfs in GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES in /etc/default/grub and then I did run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but it didn't help.
This task depends upon

I can't reproduce. grub 2:2.04-1 boots fine from a freshly created btrfs mounted with -o compress-force=zstd before running pacstrap.

edit:
Are you sure that you reinstalled the grub payload into the mbr/esp after grub was updated to 2.04?

Oh, that is the step I was missing. Thanks, now it works! I really didn't know that I need to reinstall grub. Please close this bug.
