"2-subvolume scenario"? We already split root and home into separate subvolumes, and Cloud images even split var into its own subvolume too. > A related question: when rebuilding because of a failed btrfs, the > recommendation is to reinstall on a brand new filesystem, and restore > /home from backup.

As it stands, the subvolumes are separate hierarchies and can be independently managed today, but share the same pool of disk space. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
