Give me a clues as to where to start that you haven't found by googling and reading the comparisons with other FS.
Anton,
I think the question was:
"Why did the factory install create 10 btrfs partitions/volumes?"
sort of, I was a bit tired and made more typos that I should, and don't know the right words for this new thing
What did you tell the installer to create? /, /home, /boot?
all default. I see now that there are only 3 partitions (usual: swap, / and /home), but the list I give in the previous post is also displayed in the install partitionner, I wonder how to deal with it, say if the proposed partitionning do not fit the particular install?
I speak about this here because I understood factory is becoming the rolling release and I suppose the factory list is better used for debug/developpers, not for day to day use case :-)
Suppose this wasn't BtrFS. Suppose you did just tell it / /home /boot (and swap) The would you still have, on / /var and /usr and the major sub directories such as /var/tmp, /var/spool, /usr/local All of which are prime candidates for separate file systems. Well they are for me. I have /usr/share as a separate FS so as to keep down the size of my initrd and to make the backup of /usr fit on the 5G DVD. I'm sure people with ample RAm undo the suse tweek and make /tmp & /var/tmp into tmpfs While the subvolumnes are, in once sense, labels, they are also addressable as mounted file systems and can be manipulated as such with fstab & the mount command. The btrfs makes it clear that they don't have to be where they started, you can manipulate them just as you would a disk pratition. The thing about BtrFS is that it manages the whole drive or set of drives, balancing according to use and doing cool and wonderful b-tree things. OPPS! All of a sudden I have a load factor of 7 ..10 ...14 ....0.1 The best I can figure is that something-io was up at the top of top, when top could run. I *SUSPECT* this has to do with BtrFS rearranging the disk.
