[opensuse-factory] Install openSUSE in a subvolume of btrfs
btrfs will be the default filesystem for 13.2: https://news.opensuse.org/2014/03/19/development-for-13-2-kicks-off/ Should the installer install openSUSE in a subvolume by default, or let the user choose to do so?

I don't see any worth investing time in "multiple version of openSUSE". Multiple operating systems, even multiple linux systems, yes. But multiple openSUSE seem to be like a fraction of a fraction.

I don't agree. I'm running the stable openSUSE version (11.4 + Evergreen in my case). And I need to run Factory testing my maintained packages. So, I use shared /boot and separate partitions for each openSUSE versions. -- WBR Kyrill

And is there a problem with doing that - worth an investment?

I agree to Stephan that installing multiple versions of openSUSE into different subvolumes should not be the primary concern. Nevertheless, usually the installer indeed does install the OS' root filesystem into a subvolume, to enable the full functionality of snapshot/rollback based on btrfs and Snapper.
