Is it possible, with current btrfs:

- to take a rootfs snapshot (i.e. prior to a major update),

- do changes in the root filesystem (i.e. install major update),

- if we don't like what the major update did to the system (rootfs), 
"rollback" the snapshot and make it the "original" rootfs again 
(perhaps, with a reboot in between).



If it's possible, what would be the steps/commands?
