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 :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
