¿Which is the better way?
There is no good way to clone a btrfs root partition. Better install again.
Carlos, please don't be so inaccurate with your statements when someone is legitimately asking for help
To my knowledge, there is no way to clone a btrfs filesystem. You have to format and manually create the volumes and subvolumes, and there is no listing of which they are on each openSUSE release. The question has been asked several times, and none has answered it adequately.
My answer, to my knowledge, is perfectly accurate. It is not the first time I have made the same answer and none has yet proposed a better method during the years.
Juan, you can use btrfs send and receive to clone a system to another disk.
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/stor_admin/data/sec_filesystems _major_btrfs.html This does not explain how to clone a btrfs filesystem from scratch. The word "clone" does not even exist in the entire page. It only explains how to copy the files and keep them in sync.
Guess you misread, it makes a copy of the filesystem
No, it does not. It copies read-only snapshot of one and only one volume. It can *not* be used to replicate filesystem - for a start, there is no way to replicate top-level subvolume at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
