You could probably use UnionFS or one of the alternatives to get a merged view of a group of snapshots. You could then copy that merged view and delete the original snapshots. I'm not sure if there's anything special you have to do metadata-wise to turn that merged view into something btrfs would still recognize as a snapshot though. -- 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
