Could you elaborate how this solution is different from using xattr ? I think also that these labels could be changed (like xattr). ? These info should be associated to the inode of the subvolume root. We could use a specific name in the system namespace, like "system.btrfslabel" even tough I didn't see any advantage to using the "user" namespace... -- gpg @keyserver.linux.it: Goffredo Baroncelli (kreijackATinwind.it> Key fingerprint BBF5 1610 0B64 DAC6 5F7D 17B2 0EDA 9B37 8B82 E0B5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
