I would just create a filesystem with the static content, and on boot do: mount fs delete snapshots create snapshot unmount fs and mount snapshot. I'm not sure if you can snapshot a snapshot, otherwise you could start with a snapshot as well. (Just be sure not to delete it) Niels -- 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
