Hi, I've tried installing KDE Neon with btrfs using both ways: manual partitioning and editing calamares script to add btrfs option and the system fails to boot in both cases after install. Works fine with ext4 and xfs.

This is what I get when I try to boot the system:
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Migrate UID 1000 from semi-wrong groups to correct ones..
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Snap Daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Wait until snapd is fully seeded.

I think I found the problem. Mount option is incorrect for btrfs: it should be space_cache=v2 instead of space_cache.

This can be fixed by editing /calamares/desktop/modules/fstab.conf and replacing space_cache with space_cache=v2

But do you mean to fix the /calamares/desktop/modules/fstab.conf before rebooting after the installation or before starting the installation?

Confirmed. To fix, boot, and before starting the installation, first edit /calamares/desktop/modules/fstab.conf, then start the installation.
