Could you elaborate how this solution is different from using xattr ?
I think also that these labels could be changed (like xattr). ?
These info should be associated to the inode of the subvolume root. We
could use a specific name in the system namespace, like
"system.btrfslabel" even tough I didn't see any advantage to using the
"user" namespace...
