Which is great, and I've consulted it in the past. But nested subvolumes aren't exactly discouraged there (in fact, they're not mentioned in that section at all).

What I'm proposing is more thorough and assertive documentation that matches the wisdom handed out on this list. -- Paul -- 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
