i think you already hinted this, but just do the dedicated subvol thing; no need to try and build any of the crap i posted now or later :-) i've been pretty heavy into implementing my design, and for the most part i'm pleased... but i made quite a few updates to the structure and most of what i posted no longer applies. among other things, i decided to dump all the actual subvols into the /, like you questioned: /.vol.1291021356 for simpler mounting. my only real annoyance was having to look at them, but the leading period takes care of that :-) plus i forgot there are a couple bugs in the tool i need to discover the internal id (entries are missing arbitrarily) that could lead to a situation where i cannot mount the root for a really dumb reason. in other words, don't mind me... move along, nothing to see here.
