To: linux-btrfs Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-btrfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: So the Ubuntu Wiki BtrFS entry advises against using subvol set-default because it boots its kernel using root=subvol=@ and home as subvol=@home, and these two subvols are only present under the subvol with ID 5. But isn't it just possible to move i.e. reparent a subvol so I can move these two under another subvol and have that as default? Possibly this is a hypothetical question as I'm not sure whether it would be actually practically required but looking at the specific Ubuntu advice on this I thought I should ask. I'm also not sure what openSUSE (or other distros) do about this... Do they mount root using subvolid, or subvol name or such? -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा
