So I've been using BtrFS on my laptop for a couple of years now without issue, and on my desktop I had /home in BtrFS for years before my hard drive crashed, though I never really used any of the BtrFS features. I'm toying with the idea of doing a full BtrFS root and home on my desktop machine. I want to explore BtrFS more, and I like the idea of being able to snapshot the file systems before operations such as package installs or updates. Or at the very least having periodic snapshots of my home directory.
Question is, has anyone been using btrfs for root, and if so what volume and subvolume layouts did you use? I will be keeping my home directories on a completely separate partition/volume. But on root, should I have a separate volume for /var? Or is that overkill? If you tell OpenSUSE to use btrfs I know it sets up a fair number of subvolumes. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
