Hi David, > Shouldn't it say "next time volume is mounted" instead of "next > boot"?

Josef's been thinking about exactly that -- the current situation requires you to add subvol=<snapshot-name> to the mount args, which indeed would require you to change fstab (for non-rootfs) or to add a rootflags= argument to the grub menu (for rootfs). He's considering changing the btrfs disk format to add a "default subvolume for this fs" field that would lead us to a simple btrfsctl command for setting that field instead. I agree that his solution's what we'd like. > OK.

I've updated the feature draft to include the Palimpsest UI suggestion. - Chris. -- Chris Ball <cjb@xxxxxxxxxx> One Laptop Per Child -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
