Subject: RFE: per-subvolume timestamp that is updated on every change to a subvolume
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 18:27:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150105172754.GC19126@gardel-login> (raw)

Heya!

I am looking for a nice way to query the overall last modification
timestamp of a subvolume. i.e. the most recent mtime of *any* file or
directory within a subvolume. Ideally, I think, there was a
btrfs_timespec field for this in "struct btrfs_root_item", alas there
isn't afaics. Any chance this can be added?

Or is there another workable way to query this value? Maybe determine
it from the current generation of a subvolume or so? Is that tracked?
Ideas?

Lennart
