it depends, Currently I am using the old fashioned setup becouse of a couple of reasons: * I converted some of them from ext4 * Selecting the right subvolume to boot from is not easy (i know it is posible, but have not yet got the time to look into it deep enough) * If one of the filesystems gets destroyed due too a btrfs bug, i still have the other ones (I have currently "/", "/home" and a backup of "/home" which is never automounted) Simon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
