Public bug reported:

I'm actually using apt-btrfs-snapshot 0.2 on Ubuntu Natty because I like the 
cron script to delete old snapshots. I've noted in the code that 
apt-btrfs-snapshot uses the atime of the file /etc/fstab to determine  the age 
of the snapshot. Such method is not reliable using options like noatime in the 
root file-system. Such kind of options are strongly suggested for laptop disk 
HDD or SDD. It is also automatically used by packages like laptop-mode. 
Using noatime on root, the weekly cron script remove all my snapshots.

** Affects: apt-btrfs-snapshot (Ubuntu)
