I have difficulties grabbing these two concepts. As far as I can tell, a snapshot is an instant, synchronized, photography of the filesystem at a given point in time; a subvolume is a "subroot" to a btrfs filesystem. While I fully understand (and use) the purpose of snapshots, I don't quite fathom the use case for subvolumes, apart from btrfs-convert... Why has btrfs grown such a feature in the first place? Can someone give me a use case for them? -- Francis Galiegue, fgaliegue@xxxxxxxxx "It seems obvious [...] that at least some 'business intelligence' tools invest so much intelligence on the business side that they have nothing left for generating SQL queries" (StÃphane Faroult, in "The Art of SQL", ISBN 0-596-00894-5) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
