--- Comment #9 from Marian Csontos <mcsontos@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I think snpshots of /boot has its own set of problems. One of snapper's flaws
when using BTRFS is exactly that - it keeps information about snapshots inside
the filesystem which is "snapshotted".

I wonder, if you have multiple snapshots of /boot, where do you keep
information about those snapshots and grub.cfg to pick the
snapshot+kernel+initrd+cmdline to boot?

And if you boot into a snapshot, and want to make an update to that config,
where to save that information?

Either you still keep data inside "master" snapshot of /boot, or you need to
keep it up to date somehow, don't you?

Or do you move the problem to EFI boot partition or elsewhere? And than one can
not "snapshot" that, and files are saved/installed there too.

And should the FS get dirty, how does one fsck it? Of course /boot can get
dirty itself too, but it is rather low traffic, compared to /.
