This is incredibly useful functionality, especially if you have a non-hierarchical subvolume setup (sometimes called a flat setup) like Fedora and a few other distributions do. If you want snapshots to exist outside of the root subvolume or default subvolume, then this patch is needed or you cannot access them properly for boot to snapshot. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
