Honestly, the feature that has the most interest for me is the subvolumes. The upshot is that you create one partition, create a btrfs on it, and then create subvolumes. They all use the same shared storage pool. You can add additional disks to expand it and all subvolumes have access to the new space. This means I'm not staring at the 10 GB I have free on /home while always doing rpm -e kernel-source during zypper dup's because my / is too small. Is there any advantage of btrfs over a bunch of ext3 filesystems on different lvm logical volumes?
With traditional LVM snapshots require free space in the VG; with BTRFs snapshots are created within the FS itself. Leaving a significant amount of uncommitted space in the VG is (a) not in any default installer I've seen and (b) rarely done by all but the most experienced users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
