ok, so use of subvolumes remove the partition size *problem* of direct partitioning
is this easier than lvm? I don't know
Easier for what?
iy's the question. Is btrfs subvolume easier than lvm. I dunno.
There are many circumstance where you want constraints such as fixed size partitions.
may be, but also many times where this is a problem, and I have seen much more problems than solutions Perhaps they don't apply to you or perhaps you don't
care or perhaps you can't imagine that it would matter to someone else.
we a speaking of default install, here, everybody can do every thing anyway...
But if you think LVM is about fixed size partitions then you don't understand LVM. I use LVM specifically because I don't want fixed size partitions ala fdisk.
yes, and it's why I wonder is btrfs subvolumes are better or not. Subvolumes do not need at all fixed partitions, lvm allows easy changing. as someone said, when fixing problem each level of difficulty is an obstacle. With lvm it's much more difficult to know how the disk is used (let only because the computer owner do not know this himself), devices names are pretty hard to remember, partitioning needs the correct driver version to be read (and chance is you don't have it), etc. If lwm go through several disks, I simply refuse to try. jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
