item 2 affects in this case, as the admin can not simply create a new btrfs partition and move the existing system to it.
Ever heard of btrfs send and btrfs receive? I do this for system migrations all the time. I can even migrate old snapshots i when I want to keep them. Just send/receive ro snapshots of what you want to move, clone one into a rw snapshot and mount it as your live volume. It's not a single step, but definitely possible for an everyday admin.
Hi Ben,
I was just getting ready to say the same thing. btrfs send/receive can be sent to another btrfs partition or to a regular file.
I just wish there was an easy way to specify to get all the subvolumes.
It doesn't work with rsync. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
