Depends on how and where the new home is created. But this is a good catch. The home subvol exists on the top level of the file system, and is effectively bind mounted at /home Since OP is reluctant to modify fstab, I'm not sure what exact changes were made. > If yes, taking a snapshot of / will include /home which is IMO a bad > thing. I'm not sure if OP is making use of snapshots. But since subvolumes are separate file b-trees there's less contention by splitting up write tasks onto separate subvolumes, and this can help performance with heavier workloads. -- Chris Murphy -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
