Hello Chris and all, thanks for raising this point. On 2015-07-15 T 22:05 -0600 Chris Murphy wrote:
I think this is "yet another example" of why nested subvolumes usually aren't a good idea.
Well, I am not sure, if in this case the "nesting" is not even beneficial.
There probably should be a systemd-machines subvolume at the top level of the file system, which is added to fstab to mount it at /var/lib/machines.
Yes, indeed, that is a good proposal. Mind, if you open a FATE at: https://features.opensuse.org/ that the Installer/Partitioner creates a subvolume for /var/lib/machines? Please include user "mge1512", and I will help driving this. Thanks in advance!
And then snapper needs a way to know to exclude systemd-machines from its snapshotting management.
It does anyways, as by default snapper only is configured to consider the "/" subvolume. And here the positive side of "nesting" comes into the game, ...:-) So long - MgE -- Matthias G.
