I agree. Or just incorporate into the naming convention of the
subvolume. I've been following a variation on the naming scheme in the
"What We Propose" here:
http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html
which is more intended for stateless systems. I add a field at the end
:current vs :date where :date is yyyymmdd with an optional -X sequence
in case there's more than one snapshot per day.
