Dear FAI people,

I have a question about the recently added btrfs support, which is not exactly clear to me from the existing documentation:

I am installing systems with a single disk, of which one partition is supposed to contain a btrfs file system. To make updating easier, I'd like to have multiple subvolumes in that filesystem, especially I'd like to have the system root in a non-/ default subvolume (so that later on, I can snapshot that subvolume to perform easily-rollback-able upgrades).

How do I specify such a configuration in the setup-storage config? The documentation only gives an example for btrfs lines with subvolumes that use raid configurations, but are not exactly clear about how to specify multiple subvolumes in the same partition. Also, is there a way to specify the default subvolume here?

The formal config file syntax description is missing any mention of the btrfs lines, too.

Cheers,

//Urs
