Well. what is your motivation for doing it that way in the ext4? If you're looking to be able to selectively mount sections of your filesystem, then sure, subvolumes might work, but a lot of people divide partitions this way so that they'd be independent for purposes of reliability. Subvolumes of one btrfs partition wouldn't provide that independence. ~Chris -- 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
