My tests shows that first "rootflags" is ignored, and the second one matters:


root@pegaz# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | egrep subvol | head -n1
    linux    /pegaz/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 root=UUID=ea6ae51d-d9b0-4628-a8f3-3406e1dc59c6 ro rootflags=subvol=pegaz rootflags=space_cache=v2 quiet



This one is iginored:

             rootflags=subvol=pegaz

and this one takes effect:

              rootflags=space_cache=v2

so default subvolume is mounted instead of "pegaz" subvolume.
This is severe and can change how system boots.


My workaround is to put whole rootflags in /etc/default/grub:


root@pegaz:~# egrep rootflags= /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootflags=clear_cache,space_cache=v2,subvol=pegaz"


root@pegaz:~# egrep rootflags= /boot/grub/grub.cfg | head -n1

    linux    /pegaz/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 root=UUID=ea6ae51d-d9b0-4628-a8f3-3406e1dc59c6 ro rootflags=subvol=pegaz rootflags=clear_cache,space_cache=v2,subvol=pegaz quiet



This is ignored:

             rootflags=subvol=pegaz

and this takes effect:


            rootflags=clear_cache,space_cache=v2,subvol=pegaz
