A filesystem is designed to support arbitrary names for files, directories, and in the case of BTRFS subvolumes. You might ask whether /var/log is a good place for log files, it's generally regarded that "yes" is the correct answer to that question, but it's not a question for filesystem developers. I like to have / in the root subvolume so all subvolumes are available by default. I have /var etc in the same subvolume so I can make an atomic snapshot of all such data. It's not the one true answer, but it works for me and will work for other people. The main thing is to have all data that needs to be atomically snapshotted on the same subvolume. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- 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
