With subvolumes, this problem doesn't exist, since space allocation is flexible by default across all subvolumes in a partition.

That's still a goal, but Server Edition has more complex needs to address before we could do it there by default. Since the storage needs for Cloud Edition are tremendously simpler, we can do it here first and iterate on getting things to the point that we could propose it for Server Edition. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
