Why subvolume and not just volume?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Does anyone know the reason subvolumes are not called just volumes? I
mean, the top subvolume is not called a volume, so there is nothing to
be "sub" of.

Also, what is the penalty of a subvolume compared to a directory? From
a design perspective, couldn't all directories just be subvolumes?
