Yes you can -- the btrfs wiki even has this example: mount -t btrfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/btrfs btrfs subvolume create /mnt/btrfs/new_subvol btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt/btrfs /mnt/btrfs/snapshot_of_root Here the snapshot lives within the subvolume being captured. This should work just fine when mounted at / too. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
