Years ago I was very comfortable with a multi partition setup. But on starting an upgrade to OpenSuse 31.2 I have discovered that the machine needed a serious cleanout. So I tried to repartition into SWAP, / and /home. OpenSuse recommended btrfs for / and XFS for /home. I have used XFS for years so no problems.  I allocated 20Gb for SWAP and 50Gb for / and the balance to /home. The install has failed because it could not format the BTRFS partition. I expect that in the process the new partition table has been created, so maybe the historical mess is gone.  Can someone recommend a "standard" btrfs set up to save me some time, please?
