Subject: generic name for volume and subvolume root?
Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2017 10:35:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170909083551.GC22060@rus.uni-stuttgart.de> (raw)
As I am writing some documentation abount creating snapshots:
Is there a generic name for both volume and subvolume root?
Example:
root@fex:~# btrfs subvol show /mnt
ERROR: not a subvolume: /mnt
root@fex:~# btrfs subvol show /mnt/test
/mnt/test is toplevel subvolume
root@fex:~# btrfs subvol show /mnt/test/data
/mnt/test/data
Name: data
UUID: b32a5949-dfd6-ef45-8616-34ae4cdf6fb8
(...)
root@fex:~# btrfs subvol show /mnt/test/data/sw
ERROR: not a subvolume: /mnt/test/data/sw
I can create snapshots of /mnt/test and /mnt/test/data, but not of /mnt
and /mnt/test/data/sw
Is there a simple name for directories I can snapshot?
