hei jed,
that sounds slick. thx for the pointer.
out of interest ...
1. how do you handle snapshots for VMs?
I guess you have the choice between btrfs/zfs and qemu/virsh
snapshots on the images to your avail with a setup as yours
2. is there anything else then the hd images inside those subvolumes?
all best

When I set up a ZFS pool for VMs , I dedicate a filesystem per VM , so
that I can independently roll back VMS. So I would suggest creating a
sub-volume for each of your own VMs.

I want to set up kvm/qemu virtualization on personal notebook

I am running on btrfs taking regular snapshots for the /
directory, which lead to high hard disk usage due to all snapshots
being made of qcow2 images of vms (being located in
/var/lib/libvirt/images in the past ...
In order to avoid running into such a situation again I am
thinking on how to set this up a little different. 2 ideas is this
regards:
1. setting up a btrfs subvol for the mentioned directory (prior
installation)
2. putting the image file elsewhere (which would also be a subvol)
what would you suggest?
... while writing this I feel #2 would be the better way to approach.
So the question (if you agree) ... is it the |--disk path=
option|in a virt-install command, that would take care of that?
