Research direction
The issue identifies the Photon 4 installer and requests a btrfs filesystem option, but it names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the installer’s filesystem-selection and partitioning code, then compare the existing ext3, ext4, and swap handling. Done means btrfs can be selected and the resulting installation completes successfully.
