The other reason is to avoid the data being captured in a disk snapshot that can be used too roll back later, for example generally if you need to roll back to a earlier snapshot to recover your system rolling back the contents of /tmp /var/cache etc is not useful. You also wouldn't want to roll back /var/logs as you'd loose data. By having these in a separate snapshot this wont happen.
Yes.
It would be nice if there were a script or something to create all those volumes, used during installation, so that the admin could recreate them easily.
Or a function in the YaST partitioner module to create that layout in a new or existing empty btrfs partition without doing an install.
Just an idea :-)
Yes, this would be quite useful. It would then be straight forward to use snapper to create a snapshot, rsync the snapshot to the new structure and then followup with an rsync of any subvolumes that should also be backed up. This would also make cpio/tar based backups more straight forward.
