I think that more clean solution would be to have

This way you can switch between them by just adding rootflags=subvol=root-1, there is no special dedicated "initial root" which makes it easy to go back and forth between them,
Top level subvolume is just to group them in one namespace.
this is not exactly, but very similar to how it works in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, and how I had assumed it were configured in openSUSE 13.2 and Tumbleweed. However, I learned last week that the configuration (at least of openSUSE 13.2) is different from the one in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, and this might lead to this question and problems. For the future, the plan is this: - the root filesystem is _always_ installed in a separate subvolume - the "independent" subvolumes (/var/log, /opt, /srv, /home) are by default installed underneath another separate primary level subvolume called "@" (this naming is inherited from the Debain community years ago) With that setup a clean switching between different "root"s is possible. More details in the Bugzilla on monday. Enjoy the weekend! So long - MgE -- Matthias G.
