Main reason to drop time-stamp based names is that, - test (clicking on Take-snapshot button) which took more than one snapshot per second was failing. - a more descriptive creation time is available using a command line option as in the example below. ----- # btrfs su list -t tag=@minute,parent=/btrfs/sv1 /btrfs /btrfs/.autosnap/6c0dabfa-5ddb-11e1-a8c1-0800271feb99 Thu Feb 23 13:01:18 2012 /btrfs/sv1 @minute /btrfs/.autosnap/5669613e-5ddd-11e1-a644-0800271feb99 Thu Feb 23 13:15:01 2012 /btrfs/sv1 @minute ----- As of now code for time-stamp as autosnap snapshot name is commented out, if more people wanted it to be a time-stamp based names, I don't mind having that way. Please do let me know.
